TAKUHATSU 2021

Without your support, work of Hinotori Zendo would not be possible. Thank you for your generosity all these years!

Doka Sensei

Since 2019, on December 3th , HINOTORI ZENDO started the first alms round (TAKUHATSU*), in which modern methods (digital) and traditional principles (lay support for committed Bodhisattva efforts) are combined. Takuhatsu takes place annually and last for only 49 days, which gives and additional spiritual meaning.

*TAKUHATSU is a traditional Buddhist practice in which monks leave practice sites, be it a monastery, hermitage, or forest shelter, to re-enter secular places and collect donations from lay people.

From 03.12.2021 to 20.01.2022
