In His New Year message, the Supreme Patriarch said, “Perfect harmony and absolute

 

unity present themselves everywhere in the New Year. Even in poverty, the great Peace-

 

giving Gate is opened for us all; everyone you meet in the street is a Buddha and every

 

place you walk on is the Pure Land. Consequently, as treasures are being piled up high

 

in every house each year, aesthetic enjoyment and elegance of our lives prevails each

 

and every day.”

 

 

As the dawn of the Lunar New Year

 

the Year of Mouse is breaking brighter.

 

The great aura of Buddha fills the Universes

 

In every house is the cosmic auspiciousness  

 

In every place opens the Gate of ambrosia

 

Thunders of truth suddenly arose in the sky,

 

hindrances everywhere will vanish.

 

As a door to Perfect Harmony and Absolute Unity opens,

 

ordinariness becomes no different from supreme elegance

 

The unenlightened men find Buddha in their own delusions,

 

the humble women open the Gate of great giving.

 

As there is no one without compassionate wisdom,

 

There is no one who is not Buddha, no place that is not Pure Land.

 

Each and every family enjoys abundance and richness (家家年年富).

 

Aesthetic enjoyment is regenerating itself day by day (風流日日新).
