@dariana @3goodthings - Went to my temple last night for the New Years Eve Service. We meditated, chanted, sung a gatha, and listened to a dharma talk. We finished with ringing our konsho bell 108 times (we each got to ring it a couple times each) to symbolize the releasing of the 108 kleshas.
It was fun and the kids loved ringing the bell. The bell is smallish but still decently sized and rings quite loud with minimal effort so it was wonderful seeing a small child cause such a large sound 😆
I hope your new year is bright and happy! Namo Amida Butsu. Namo Buddhaya. 🙏🙏🙏
