2026 NY’s Day Practice & Bell-Hitting Activity
01-Jan-2026
The 2026 New Year’s Day bell-hitting group practice was joyfully completed on January 1. Practitioners gathered at Hae Su Zen Center to meditate together and personally hit the great bell in the Buddha hall—entering present-moment awakening and returning, moment by moment, to a clear and mindful heart.
In the afternoon, everyone also hit their hand-held instruments while chanting the sacred name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, merging one’s own voice, the sounds of the instruments, and the collective chanting into one harmonious whole.
May all advance on the path of Bodhi in the new year, with lightness and ease in body and mind. We pray for a harmonious and stable society, world peace, and the fulfillment of all wholesome aspirations.
