The 10th annual “24-Hour Ceaseless (Continuous) Nenbutsu Chanting will be observed remotely via internet again this year from Saturday September 25 at 1:00pm to Sunday September 26 at 1:00pm (Japan Standard Time).

The theme is "BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG PIETY – Calling the Name of Buddha (Nenbutsu) in the Center of Kyoto”.  However due to the current covid-19 situation, we ask you not to come to the temples but to participate in the live feeds as we did in Tokyo and Kyoto last year.

This time, Shojokein Head Temple will be our main central base for the Nenbutsu Chanting for 24 hours.  At the same time, Kanchiin Temple and its sister temple Tamonin Temple, where the main office of 24 Hour Ceaseless Nenbutsu Association is located, will also broadcast Nenbutsu Chanting and connects live streaming from the various temples and places in Japan and other countries.

Please understand we are not accepting any general participation at the main sites on that day.  Please join us online to recite “Namu Amida Butsu(bu)” together by watching the livestreaming videos from the main sites in Kyoto and from various places in the world while you are staying at home.

This year, in addition to the YouTube, you can participate in this online Nenbutsu by Zoom by using your smart phone, tablet or computer.

What is 24-hour Continuous Nenbutsu?

24-Hour Ceaseless (continuous) Nenbutsu is one of Buddhist services just to chant name of Buddha(Nenbutsu), “Namu Amida Butsu(bu)” with no breaks for 24 hours. We’ll do it by turn like relay but you may do it for 24 hours. During the 24 hours of Nenbutsu chanting, we also do prostrations as well as circumambulation of the Amida Buddha’s statue.

Everyone is welcome to take part in this 24-hour Ceaseless Nenbutsu. It doesn’t matter whether you are a priest, a follower, a Buddhist or not.

Live streaming over the internet

On the day, we will be live streaming the service over the internet for 24 hours. Please join us in Nenbutsu in front of your computer, tablet or smartphone while you avoid crowds and stay in a safer place. We plan to have a live transmission from our Nenbutsu friends from various places in the world. You will also be able to watch this transmission alongside the live feed from Shojokein Temple in Kyoto or Kanchiin Temple in Tokyo
