A Prayer for the New Year
by Venerable Master Hsing Yun of Fo Guang Shan
Oh great compassionate Buddha!
A new year has finally come to the world again.
In the temples, the toll of bells,
On the doors, the red New Year's scrolls,
On the wall, a new calendar:
Everything suggests that all things change from old to new when a new year begins.

About Fo Guang Shan
In order to promote Humanistic Buddhism, Venerable Master Hsing Yun founded Fo Guang Shan at Kaohsiung in 1967. Fo Guang Shan has four mottos: to propagate Dharma through culture, to foster talents through education, to benefit the society through charity, and to purify minds through spiritual cultivation. Fo Guang Shan advocates Humanistic Buddhism and strives to promote the engagement of Buddhism in daily life.
