Reflections on New Year Celebration
by Susie Tyrrell

I celebrated Chinese New Year at the Buddha Gate Monastery February 18, 2007.

The flowers, the chanting, the candle lighting ceremony were all so beautiful. It gave me a wonderfully positive feeling about the New Year ahead.

It gave me an opportunity to honor my loved ones, both alive and deceased.

I felt part of a large community all with the same focus.

The love and oneness was a perfect way to celebrate this new beginning, the year of the pig.

Amitofo.
