onelight asked:
I’ll be joining some friends and attending a Zen meditation retreat soon. Part of the experience there will be them ringing what they call the ‘ Great Bell ‘. It is rung a very specific number of times. Do you know why it is rung that many times ? Just wondering ?
I’d heard that the ‘ great bell ‘ is rung 108 times. Reason for that number of rings ?
