New Year's Eve program Sunday 10 p.m. until 2018

This Sunday we will have a formal sitting and bonfire to mark the passing of 2017. Practice will begin at 10 p.m. with formal zazen and a bonfire to extinguish the vexations we experienced during the passing year. At midnight we will have the traditional ringing of 108 bells followed by a reception.

Come close 2017 in the clarity of silent night sitting. Exhaling is releasing; inhaling is renewing. Everything is embraced in the silence of the surrounding night . Disappear into the world of breathing and be reborn as a new self in a new year.

Our regular practice schedule will resume on January 2nd, 6 a.m.

What kind of a country did he disappear into? 
 It should go without saying that he passed away into absolute space.  Perfect space is an activity.  Perfect space is the activity of emptiness.  When we vanish into absolute perfect space, we don't need to say, "I am", anymore.  


-Roshi Joshu Sasaki
