慈悲偉大的佛陀！
在這新一年的開始，
我要把過去的種種視為昨日已過，
我要把未來的種種當作今日新生。
在這個新年的開始，
我一願眷屬和諧，家庭美滿；
我二願生活滿足，行善濟世；
我三願情緒正常，性格穩重；
我四願掃除習氣，增加修養；
我五願發心做事，慈悲待人；
我六願事業順利，身心康泰；
我七願修行進步，增加慧解；
我八願佛教興隆，眾生普度；
我九願社會安定，人民快樂；
我十願世界和平，普天同慶。
慈悲偉大的佛陀！
祈求您護佑我，
讓我在新的一年裡，
所說的言語，都是
慈悲善良、鼓勵向上的好話；
所做的事情，都是
令人歡喜、利益大眾的好事；
所存的心意，都是
祝福他人、回向他人的好心；
所有的行止，都是
幫助國家，協助世界的美好。
我願意將自己的身心奉獻社會，
我願意將所有的一切與人分享。
慈悲偉大的佛陀！
新春新氣象，讓我一切重新開始吧！

A Prayer for the New Year
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Shujan Cheng and Tom Manzo
Oh great, compassionate Buddha!
At the beginning of the new year, I will look upon
Everything in the past as
A yesterday that has passed away,
Everything in the future as
A today that is newly born.
I would like to express my wishes.
At the beginning of this new year, I wish for:
Harmony in the family and happiness at home;
Contentment in life and good acts to help the world;
Stability in emotions and dignity in character;
The elimination of bad habits and advances in moral cultivation;
Determination in actions and compassion in relationships;
Contentment in career and health in body and mind;
Improvement in cultivation and increase in wisdom;
Abundance in Buddhism and emancipation for all beings;
Steadfastness in society and happiness in people;
Peace on earth and universal rejoicing.
Oh great, compassionate Buddha!
In the new year please grant:
That every word I say may be compassionate,
kind, and encouraging;
That everything I do may be acceptable to
most people and beneficial to the masses;
That every intention I have may be a blessing
to others and a transfer of merits to them;
That every action I take may be beneficial
to the nation and of assistance to the world;
That I may be willing to contribute my own body and mind to society;
That I may be willing to share everything I own with others.
Oh great, compassionate Buddha!
A new spirit infuses that new year;
Allow me to start everything anew!
