New Years – 2012


Just so you can be sure your calendars are marked, remember that there won’t be the usual Saturday morning schedule this week (Sat. the 31st., 9:25 a.m. zazen (seated meditation), 10:15 Dharma talk etc.). Rather, we’ll begin our traditional New Year’s Eve observance at 7:30 p.m. with temple cleaning, followed by a light snack, and then repair to the zendo (meditation hall) for quiet sitting. The densho (large hanging bell) will begin to be struck as midnight approacheth, ending just at 12:00 a.m., when we’ll have the New Year’s toast with sake and/or apple juice, and the Fire Ceremony in the back yard. (Just think of all that good karma…) Everyone is welcome! Oh, but DO try to give us a heads-up if you think you’ll be here for the whole program, so we can keep enough food on hand: Send us email via the website, or to hszc108@yahoo.com, or leave us a phone message at (415) 863-2507, and please remember, we depend completely on donations. Thank you!

Thank you!
