To : Exco and Members of SJBA, Upasakas and Upasikas

Sukhi Hotu and Happy Chinese New Year !

It is a festive time again to celebrate with family, relatives and friends. One this auspicious occasion,  everyone also wishes that the blessings of good health, prosperity, well and safe etc bestowed on them, their families, loved ones and others too. All blessings, surely, will come to those who have the right aspirations to live by the true Dhamma.
Thus, it is my sincere wish to all who have gone to the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha for refuge, and seeking blessings in life,will bear in mind the right aspirations in accordance with the Teachings of the Buddha :
1. to become accomplished in faith with right understanding in the Triple Gem;
2. to become accomplished in virtue — unblemished morality and earn one’s living in accordance with the Dhamma;
3. to become accomplished in generosity — delighting in giving and sharing for every worthy cause; and
4. to become accomplished in wisdom — striving to develop mundane and supramundane wisdom which leads to complete removal of Three Roots of Evil (greed, hatred and delusion”), and to the realization of Enlightenment.
Ultimately, may all of you would have the right aspirations to become a gem-like follower of Triple Gem who has unshakeable faith; morality remains absolutely pure; does not believe in superstitious omens; relies on one’s own kamma, not on omens; and does not seek spiritually worthy one outside the Buddha’s dispensation and one shows honour here first.
Be Heedful and Happy Striving (to cultivate upright thought, upright acts of body and speech) to become accomplished, realizing the blessings for yourself and the world will, definitely share your blessings.
With metta,
U Nyanaramsi
