星雲大師 | by Venerable Master Hsing Yun

慈悲偉大的佛陀！
Oh great, compassionate Buddha!

一年容易又春風，新的一年終於又降臨到人間了。
A new year has finally come to the world again.

在這新一年的開始，
At the beginning of the new year, I will look upon

我要把過去的種種視為昨日已逝，
Everything in the past as a yesterday that has passed away,

我要把未來的種種猶作今日新生。
Everything in the future as a today that is newly born.

我要向佛陀您訴說我內心的願望：
I would like to express my wishes.

在這個新年的開始，
At the beginning of this new year, I wish for:

我一願眷屬和諧，家庭美滿；
Harmony in the family and happiness at home;

我二願生活滿足，行善濟世；
Contentment in life and good acts to help the world;

我三願情緒正常，性格穩重；
Stability in emotions and dignity in character;

我四願掃除習氣，增加修養；
The elimination of bad habits and advances inmoral cultivation;

我五願發心做事，慈悲待人；
Determination in actions and compassion in relationships;

我六願事業順利，身心康泰；
Contentment in career and health in body and mind;

我七願修行進步，增加慧解；
Improvement in cultivation and increase in wisdom;

我八願佛教興隆，眾生普度；

祈求您護佑我，讓我在新的一年裡，
In the new year please grant:

所說的言語，都是慈悲善良、鼓勵向上的好話；
That every word I say may be compassionate, kind, and encouraging;

永不怨悔！
Without idleness and without regret.

祈求您給我信心，
Please give me faith;

讓我在學佛路上能降伏魔怨，
Allow me to surmount the barriers of delusion on the way to Buddhahood,

自利利他！
And to benefit both self and others.

A new spirit infuses the new year;
