Reflections on the New Year's Ceremony
by Anonymous

As I drove up the hill to the monastery I felt joy and calm, my breathing slowing down as I entered the now familiar setting. The Chan Hall was so festive, red and white flowers, lanterns, as well as the adornments for the Guan Yin Memorial Ceremony.

I feel so grateful to the Dharma masters and everyone associated with Buddha Gate to have this jewel practically in my backyard. The chanting, the Abbess's talk, the feeling of being with others who also resolve to clear their minds of delusions and strive to have a clear mind,truly makes this a joyful New Year !
