The ship and three drums is the religious emblem of Shasta Abbey and the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives of the Serene Reflection Meditation Church. It is based on the Chinese character, shin meaning "Heart-Mind" or "Buddha Nature." The drums of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha resound through Buddhist training, calling to all beings; and the Great Ship of Mahayana Buddhism carries them to the Other Shore (Nirvana)
