Unable to breathe, they perish in a silent memorial to the life they lived and the risks they take to ensure the survival of their species. For the past 11 years Buddhist from dharma centers and temples in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, as well as local non-Buddhists, participated in a ceremony on Pickering Beach, Delaware to bless and rescue these living beings and dedicate the merit of their actions to all living beings who are suffering throughout the world. After the ceremony, participants walk the shoreline to help stranded horseshoe crabs return to their marine habitat. This year because of Covid-19 restrictions and concern for the safety and wellbeing of the participants, the public event was canceled. However, Glenn Gauvry, founder and president of the Ecological Research & Development Group Inc. aka Sangjie Tieba Rinpoche, conducted the 12th annual horseshoe crab rescue and blessing ceremony for these remarkable mariners alone. We look forward to next spring when we can once again join in fellowship to bless this ancient species that will not survive our ignorance and indifference.
