Drawing on the teachings of Dōgen and the image of Avalokiteśvara, Torei explores birth and identity through the lens of non-duality and compassion. Reflecting on contemporary challenges around gender and care, they consider what it means to “make birth our birth” and how the bodhisattva’s many hands and eyes point to a natural, embodied response to suffering within the One Body of our shared life.
