A Fusion of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Tech: The Techno Hoyo US Tour 2024
New York, NY – September 8, 2024 – Prepare to be immersed in a groundbreaking, illuminated mindful experience that transcends time and space. The highly anticipated Techno Hoyo US Tour 2024 is set to captivate audiences across the nation, bringing a visionary blend of ancient Buddhist teachings, modern technology, and artistic expression to cities including New York, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area.
Techno Hoyo: A New Era of Spiritual Connection
In an era where younger generations often find themselves distanced from traditional religious practices, Techno Hoyo offers a compelling alternative. Spearheaded by Rev. Gyosen Asakura, the head minister of Shoonji Temple in Fukui, Japan, this revolutionary experience combines the timeless wisdom of Buddhism with cutting-edge visuals, light displays, and electronic beats. It's more than a spiritual service; it's an awakening of the senses—a reimagined Pure Land brought to life through technology.September 11 is a day that people in New York City, the United States, and around the world will always remember. It is important for more people to learn about the statue of Shinran Shonin, which was exposed to radiation and brought from Hiroshima to New York City on September 11, 1955. The September 11 Techno Buddhist memorial service aims to educate people about the history and meaning behind these events. We hope that this service will encourage people to pause, reflect, and understand a key teaching of Buddhism: recognizing the foolishness of human beings.
Rev. Gyosen Asakura: Bridging the Ancient and the Modern
Rev. Gyosen Asakura has been at the forefront of this movement since 2017, captivating audiences worldwide with his innovative approach. His work has been featured on prestigious platforms such as the BBC and NBC, and his performance at the iconic Burning Man festival in 2019 solidified his reputation as a trailblazer in the fusion of spirituality and art. His vision for Techno Hoyo is clear: to create an accessible gateway to Buddhism for a new generation.

Born from personal challenges and a deep desire to harness the healing power of art and technology, cyberNamunamu is a digital creation that complements Techno Hoyo’s mission.
