108 Bells Ceremony
with Joel Ekai Kreisberg and Fugen Tom Pitner
January 1st, 2023
11 am ET - 12:30 pm ET (New York)
Online Community Celebration
Release 2022 and Set Your Intentions for 2023!
Join us online for this community gathering to bring in the New Year with the biggest Buddhist ceremony of the year: Joy no Kane, or the Tolling of the Temple Bells. In the Buddhist tradition, ringing the bell 108 times rids us of the 108 delusions that we suffer on earth. Through this ritual, we purify ourselves of the past year’s three poisons: ignorance, attachment, and aversion.
This event will include the morning service, qigong, and the 108 Bells ceremony of purification and release, opening up to a new year of awakening, and liberation.
Community programs are offered for at no fee
Clear intentions, acting wising, compassionately are this practice.
