Temple Clean Up

The temple cleanup is one of our important activities to deepen our understanding of Buddhism, so please come to help.

We call the temple cleanup Osoji. The Romanized Japanese word Osoji is pronounced “Oh soh ji,” or “Osoh ji.” The meanings are slightly different. Oh soh ji means major cleanup whereas Osoji means cleanup

Sohji means clean up and Osoji means daily or weekly basic cleanup. Oh soh ji is a major cleanup to beautify all sections of the temple, not only the visible sections but also the hidden sections such as the dust accumulated on top of the shelf, behind the TV, within the net of the screen door, beneath the sofa, etc
