Joya-E Buddhist Service: “Bell of the Last Night”

This service symbolically “rings out” the 108 delusions of women and men and “rings in” our aspiration to overcome ignorance, greed and anger in the coming year. Everyone who attends will get to ring the Japanese Kansho bell. This service is known as the "last-night-gathering" and is where we are able to reflect upon the past year and to recognize all the causes and conditions that allowed us to make it through the year.
