“BELL OF THE LAST NIGHT” 12/31/20 6:30-7:00 PM
Watch and participate in the Joya-E New Year’s Eve Virtual Service.
Ring Out 2020! Ring In 2021! at home with your own bell during this short family-friendly virtual Buddhist cultural observance.

This celebration usually consists of ringing the Temple’s Kansho bell, but this year you can ring a bell in your home. The service will end with everyone in your family ringing a bell of your choice one of 108 times, which symbolically “Rings Out” the 108 delusions of woman and man and “Rings In” our aspiration to overcome ignorance, greed and anger in the coming year. The end of the year is also a time to reflect, with gratitude, for the infinite causes and conditions that have allowed us to live another year. The short service includes a Dharma message and is a good beginning to your New Year’s celebrations.
