The International Buddha Relic Tour Comes to Orcas Island

“What a tremendous gift for all of us here on Orcas Island, to have assembled in one place the relics of so many Buddhas, (awakened ones) including of course the historic Shakyamuni Buddha, Milarepa and Ananda as well as several others including Yeshe Tsogyel, a female Buddha. I have experienced a great heart opening as have my family and I’m sure so many others. What a great honor to have my art be graced by the presence of these great beings.”
