THE JITTI JOURNAL Volume 7 Issue 6 November 2020

Welcome

Even as the world seems in commotion, nature quietly continues to mark the passage of time, as leaves transform to striking shades of amber and crimson. We hope this footage of the beautiful 紅葉 (fall colors), taken this month at Chuson-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can provide a moment of peace. During this time of reflection and giving thanks, we offer our gratitude to you, friends of JITTI USA, and hope for glad tidings to you and your loved ones throughout the remaining year.
