How long does the work part of Temple Cleaning last?

The sitting runs 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., followed by morning tea, and then the cleaning begins. Everything is scheduled to be finished by 1 p.m., so the work portion fills roughly the late morning and early afternoon.

Where does Temple Cleaning take place?

It takes place at the Auckland Zen Centre in Onehunga, Auckland. Because the cleaning covers the whole Centre, work happens both inside the building and outside around it.

What comes after Temple Cleaning on the Centre's calendar?

The Centre's New Year's Eve celebration, which this clean prepares for, comes later in the month. Before the cleaning, the calendar also lists a Buddha's Enlightenment event earlier in December.

À propos de cet événement

Description

Temple Cleaning is a morning of meditation and practical work at the Auckland Zen Centre in Onehunga, Auckland, held on one Sunday in December as a precursor to the Centre's New Year's Eve celebrations.

The day begins with the usual sitting, from 8.30 to 10.30 a.m. A hearty morning tea follows, and then the work begins. The whole Centre is given a thorough clean, inside and out, with attention to the nooks and crannies that usually get overlooked. The cleaning is finished by 1 p.m.
