About Mary Mocine
Wednesday, December 31, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Please join the Clear Water Sangha of the Vallejo Zen Center to enjoy a quiet New Year’s Eve celebration, sitting zazen.
We will begin at 6:30 with traditional temple cleaning and long-life noodles.
We will sit from 8:30 to 10:00 pm, break for tea, and resume sitting at 10:25.
We will take turns ringing the big bell 108 times. At midnight we chant the Heart Sutra, then go outside for a fire ceremony to help let go of our unwholesome traits for the coming year.
There will be a reception following the ceremony.
