Celebrate the end of the year by meditating. The rhythmic rap of the wooden han begins at 10:30 pm, signalling the start of zazen at 10:45 pm. There will be two periods of zazen meditation and the ringing of the densho bell 108 times.

The event begins at 8:30 pm with a work meeting followed by temple cleaning. Noodles soup will be served at 10:00 pm, and the night will end with a bonfire in the courtyard.

This event is free for everyone, however donations are greatly appreciated.
