除夜敲鐘儀式 / Joya-no Kane

「除夜敲鐘儀式」是日本的佛教寺院在除夕和初一之間的期間舉行的活動。除夜就是日本的除夕當晚(西曆1231日夜晚),間於深夜0點之間的期間,會敲擊寺院的大鐘。一般來說除夜敲鐘會敲擊108次。為什麼是108次雖然有諸多由來。最有力的說法是在佛教的世界觀中人間有108個煩惱,靠著敲鐘可以把煩惱消除。

Joya-no Kane is a special event held in Buddhist temples in Japan over the the transition from the old to the new year. Joya means December 31st, which is a very special day in Japanese culture. Kane means bell in English. At each Buddhist temple, they hit a bell 108 times. It’s not a countdown for the coming year, because the ringing period straddles the old and new years. The reason for 108 peals of the bell has different theories. The most popular is that it is to take away the 108 human desires according to Buddhist beliefs.
