Ringing in the New Year @ SMZC, Tuesday Dec 31


Ringing in the New Year - Welcoming 2020 Year of the Rat

A wonderful chance to get together and renew our commitment to practice for the New Year.  Join the community for traditional, informal noodles in the sangha house. After a short zazen to close the year, at exactly midnight, we will ring SMZC's great bell 108 times to welcome the New Year of the Rat – everyone will get a chance to ring the bell.  Bring a small piece of paper inscribed with any Karmic hindrances you wish to burn away during the ceremony.  Refreshments offered following the ceremony. Tuesday, December 31, from 10:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
