New Year
We are approaching the end of this year.
In Japan, We have lots of events going on then.
Like drawing a fortune slip, praying for the up-coming year or... drinking:)
However, it is believed one of the biggest events then is to hear the New year's bell.
It is rung 108times which is corresponded to desires of people.
It is said people have 108 desires such as desire for eating, sleeping or shopping here in Japan.
This event is held so as to erace these desires for the New Year on New Year's eve.
We luckily have plenty of temples holding this event in Kyoto.
So why not coming here and getting gear for the New Year by doing it?;)
今年もまた一年が終わろうとしています。
早いものですね、、、
知ってのとおり、日本には新年を迎えるのにさまざまなイベントがございます。
おみくじ、お参り、、、、、飲み明かすなどなど(笑)
でもやはり、除夜の鐘をきいたりするのもいいと思いませんか?
人間には108の煩悩があるといわれております。
食欲、睡眠欲、物欲。
さまざまです。
幸いにもここ京都には、除夜の鐘をきけるお寺がたくさんございます。
今年は、ここ京都にて除夜の鐘をきき清々しく新年を迎えてみてはいかがですか?:)
