Description: An image of a statue representing a spiritual vision that Zen Master Dōgen had, while returning to Japan from China. The ship he was on was caught in a storm, and all aboard feared they would die, whereby Dōgen led the grew in recitation of chants to Avalokiteshwara. A vision of Avalokiteshwara appeared before Dōgen and several of the crew, and afterwards the storm abated and they made it to Japan safely. The vision is memorialized in this statue at a pond in Eihei-ji Temple in Japan.
