Tao Sangha centers and branches unify and pray for the well being and happiness of all as a way to usher in every New Year’s Eve. Each center offers special activities and Nembutsu chanting at various times, including through the midnight moment of passing from one year to the next.
Your local Tao Sangha Center will synchronize the chanting sessions with other centers’ midnight time and accompany them with Flame of Hope chanting in their passage into the next year. During this time there is much celebrating on Skype with sangha members around the world with each country’s New Year.
