Happy New Year -- Zhenlin (Master)

To the Spirit Mouse we bid farewell, and to the Golden Ox we embrace.

It is the mind of illusion that changes the time and space.

The Way cultivators cultivate the mind and apply normal practice to the worldly way.
Cultivate with a singular focus, and the dust is swept away.
A purified mind illumines the emptiness, and in a non-stop pace the worldly affairs goes.

With a mind of unconditioned kindness, we shall manifest the Buddhas of the ten directions.
Master’s mind dwells nowhere, and disciples follow.

Never has the Buddha Nature changed while the bright nature is inherently unconditioned.

Gone is year after year, the mind remains concentrated.
Into oblivion the time and space shall pass, as the mind power disappears

As the time never flies away, I pray for you all the same.

May your life abundant with wealth, and heart free from worries
May your mind shine with auspiciousness, and you practice good deeds
May your fortune accord with your wishes, as you chant Amitabha-Buddha

May you repent over the wrongs in the Year of Spirit Mouse, and accomplish great merits and virtues in the Year of Golden Ox.
