A gongen is the manifestation of a bodhisattva as a native spirit. Here, ZAO was first seen by En no Gyoja the Shugendo founder on Mt Yoshino. Will any gongen appear in our land?

- California Tendai Buddhist Monastery
- At the temple (http://caltendai.org), one can have seclusion for the practice of meditation, fire ceremony, ascetic practice, liturgies, waterfalls, and mountain circumambulation, with a vegetarian regime and a Mahayana Bodhisattva rule. From this unwordly life, one travels outside to the world and its people, for their happiness and their benefit. Through altruism, one transforms suffering into enlightenment.
