一般上，華人的習俗迎接新春都要做好事、積福德，當我們一念生清净心，通過拜懺，把一切造惡的煩惱放下，在佛前虔誠恭敬，通過思維包容他人、原諒傷害我的人、承擔世間一切苦難，用虔誠發菩提心，懺悔業報，我們所修的福報與智慧才叫 修佛法的功德。

新的一年，拜懺功德帶給大家無限的吉祥。

The Venerable abbot in his Dharma speech said: A single thought of pure faith arises, all blessings are solemn.

In general, the Chinese custom is to welcome the New Year by doing good deeds and accumulating merit.

When we have a pure mind, we can let go of all evil troubles through worship and repentance. The blessings and wisdom we cultivate are called the merits of practicing Buddhism.

In the new year, the merits of worship and repentance will bring you unlimited auspiciousness.

Thereafter the ceremony, a vegetarian steamboat feast will be held to celebrate the New Year.

1月15日，上午天竺山毗盧寺為迎接新春接吉祥，在沙門僧伽帶領下頂禮慈悲準提寳懺。

是日，全球直播視頻，本山住持帶領僧伽開壇灑净結界，迎接吉祥燈。

是日超過300多人參加拜懺如法如律、供佛設齋、傳供發願。

On January 15th morning, Beeh Low See Temple welcomed the auspicious new year, the residential sangha led all devotees to prostrate and chant the great compassion Cundi Repentance Kshamayati Sutra.

On the day, the live online was broadcast.

The Venerable abbot led the sangha to sprinkle holy water around the compound of the Dharma hall and lighting up ceremony.

More than 300 devotees participated in the prayer ceremony, making offerings to the Lord Buddha.

本山住持在消災法會佛法開示：諸惡莫作，眾善奉行，我相信大家都會做好事，修福田，幫助貧困積德。

只要一生善念，學佛一定會得到無限的感應。但，雖然有了感應，生活在煩惱痛苦，因追求世間欲望不受控制，所得來的業報沒辦法脫離世間痛苦煩惱。

唯有通過拜懺修持觀音法門，修自净其意，身口意業所形成十種惡報轉換為十種的善業，身口意業清净、發願修行、學習觀音菩薩的悲願，因爲觀音菩薩以大準提佛母實現在人間，度化衆生。

修準提法門必定能夠滅除世間一切欲望煩惱，得大解脫。當我們效仿菩薩的悲願修行，將來必定達到正等正覺。

新的一年，一定會得到佛法加持力，解脫過去世間所造的一切欲望煩惱，得到清净心。

The Venerable abbot in his Dharma speech said: “Create no evil, cultivate all good, and purify the mind. These are the teachings of the Buddha.”

I believe that everyone will do good deeds, obtain merits, and help the poor to accumulate virtue. As long as you have kind thoughts throughout your life, you will definitely get infinite inspiration from studying Buddhism.

However, although there is induction, living in affliction and pain, the pursuit of worldly desires is unable to control, and the karma obtained cannot escape the worldly pain and affliction.

Only by practicing the Avalokitesvara Dharma through worship and repentance, and self-purification of one’s mind, the ten kinds of evil karma formed by body, speech, and mind can be transformed into ten kinds of good karma.

The great Maha Cundi Bodhisattva, saving all living beings.

Cultivating the Cundi Dharma method will definitely eliminate all desires and troubles in the world and achieve great liberation. When we imitate the bodhisattva’s compassion, vows, and practice, we will surely achieve perfect enlightenment in the future.

In the new year, you will definitely get the blessing of Buddhism, get rid of all desires and troubles created in the past world, and obtain a pure mind.

當天中午，在毗盧寺法堂一起圍爐品嘗素食，得大歡喜迎接新的一年。

At noon after that the blessing prayer, the Sangha and devotees gathered around at the Dharma hall having the traditional vegetarian steamboat, enjoying happily to welcome the coming Chinese New Year.
