2024年農曆新年

祝福大家：身心寂靜，如意吉祥！

被煩惱纏繞著的心，表現於肢體和語言，很容易就會産生惱人損己的困擾，傷了和氣、也壞了元氣。

在新的一年裡，若我們能守護好身、口、意三業的清淨，讓自己的身心散發出寂靜的氣氛，煩惱止息了，對人事物自然就不懷敵意，更沒有欠意。

我們都祈求事事如意、人人吉祥，就從自己的身心開始做起吧。

──寂靜禪林方丈開仁長老

May everyone be peaceful and well.
May your wishes be fulfilled.

A mind entangled in defilements, when manifested through body and speech,
can easily cause troubles that are annoying to others and harmful to oneself,
damaging communal harmony as well as personal vitalities.

If we can guard the purity of our body, speech and mind in the new year,
and let peaceful vibes shone from within,
with the quenching of afflictions,
we harbor no hostility towards people and the surroundings,
and we await no guilt.

Let us start with ourselves, for the happiness and blessings we all long for.

(The Abbot of Santavana Forest Hermitage Thera Kairen)
