New Year's Eve: Sitting and Chanting for Peace on Earth


Please scroll down for Zoom link.

Please join Mountain Rain and friends from other sanghas in a New Year’s Eve retreat to cultivate peace in our hearts, our families, our communities, and in our world. Each hour will consist of 50 min. sitting meditation, ten min. walking meditation and 10 min. chanting.

This year we are sorry that once again we will be unable to gather in-person at the zendo., but everyone is welcome to attend on Zoom for all or part of the evening.

We will close by ringing the temple bell 108 times to dispel our many delusions , each person taking a turn. Those attending on Zoom in the final hour, are invited to ring a bell, or bell-like object (BYOBell), when it is your turn. Dispelling our delusions together on Zoom!

At midnight we will have a round of New Year’s Greetings.

Offered on a sliding-scale basis. Any amount gratefully received. Everyone welcome!

To register for in-person attendance, or donate for Zoom attendance:

Please note: In-person attendance is cancelled due to the current Covid situation. The registrar will contact in-person registrants.
