Jizo For Peace
Found this while reading up on Jizo. A popular Buddhist deity in Japan and the protector of miscarried, stillborn and aborted children, he is being used by members of the Great Vow Zen monastery to raise awareness of the dangers posed by the nuclear armament this August 6th and 9th, the 60th anniversary of the A-bomb detonations over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The monastery hopes to deliver 270,000 Jizo images to Hiroshima in time for the anniversary. “…one Jizo for every man, woman, and child who died as a result of the atomic bombs.”
