"Japanese New Year Video 2008"
This video features an
incredible look at a Japanese
Buddhist Shusho-E or "New
Year's Day Service" that was
held in a small Buddhist temple
in West Tokyo. The Shuso-E
service is the first Buddhist
service of the year and dates
back to the Nara period in
Japan. This very moving and
spiritual service is done as a
way of praying and wishing for
world peace and also to reflect
on the past and go on to live a
better new year. This service
also includes the 'Nembutsu'
which is chant of praise to
Amida Buddha, the Buddha of
infinite light and eternal life.
Amida Buddha is the central
Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism
which is very popular in East
Asia as it provides a
straightforward method of
expressing faith as a Buddhist.
Also, this video shows some
happy Japanese people as they
ring the temple bell in the
Japanese 'Joya-No-Kane' custom
which is actually done for a
total of 108 times in
symbolizing the purification of
the 108 human defilements and
the beginning of a purified new
year. The Japanese New Year
holiday is observed for seven
days and is a very special and
exciting time to be in Japan!
Everybody is so upbeat and
excited about the New Year and
it is quite nice in Tokyo as
millions of people leave the
city to go back to their
hometowns.
