Happy new year everyone. May you all have long lives, good food to eat and good things to wear. May you all afford all the gadgets you wish to have, may you get along with friends, may people not ignore you, may people not assume too much and may they liberate you from their expectations. Most of all may all of you become an acquaintance of the Sakyamuni.
Ringu Tulku
Another year has passed like a dream.
We observed calamity after calamity.
Are we about to make our world unliveable
With our greed, short sightedness and ignorance?
Watching the Dalai Lama and a host of great beings
I find courage to look at the brighter side.
There is no use lamenting and losing heart.
We all have the fortune to choose what we do.
A little bird poured a mouthful of water on the forest fire.
“This may not put down the fire,” she said,
“But I like to be counted among those who tried to help”.
Let us do something that might help us and our fellow beings.
What an immense challenge we face!
What a great opportunity we have!
With a joyful smile and heart filled with kindness
Let us embrace the challenges of the coming New Year.
Wishing you a most wonderful new year in 2011.
Pema Chodron
New Year message from Pema: “I want to say Happy New Year to you all, and I aspire that 2011 be an auspicious year for each of you and for the planet. With many best wishes and love, Pema”
