A memorable New Year's Eve was made possible by the 30+ people who participated in the Shao Shan Temple New Year's Eve Ceremony & Celebration...
A blazing fire in the snow,
the path to Shao Shan Temple front door lit by tiki torches,
silent meditation time,
time for a year review - what we wish to contine, what we wish to refrain,
chanting,
fire purification at the outdoor bonfire,
a dedication for the new "Little Hall" building's opening and first public use,
a festive, social time with bountiful refreshments,
ringing a circle of bells for 108 minutes,
steaming bowls of Japanese noodles & tempura after midnight
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013
