The mind was the seed of past transgressions.
With the right conditions and the passage of time, retribution appears.
Plant wholesome roots now and transform your mind and thoughts,
To eradicate evil, give rise to joy, and put your mind at ease.
No matter what situations you encounter in the future,
Right views will be your seed of Bodhi.
All phenomena in the past, present and future are illusory in nature.
When the sun of wisdom shines brightly, the clouds of ignorance will dissipate.
~New Year’s Dharma Blessings from the Abbot in 2022

Increase your wisdom and virtues through the new year
For this new year there should be growth in one’s wisdom and virtues. Ignorance and karmic hindrances must be eliminated, efforts should be made towards the perfection of one’s Bodhi cultivation, and afflictions and karmic hindrances should all be purified.

Wisdom is acquired through learning and life experiences; without both, we will become ignorant. Ignorance will lead to immense suffering no matter what we do.

Are you friends with King Yama?
Before you heard the Buddhadharma, you were lost in a life of ignorance and indulgence. Now that you have heard the Buddhadharma, you still consider worldly affairs as your top priority, while relegating the Buddhadharma to a secondary place or even to the bottom of the list. You must be a good friend of King Yama! Without first accomplishing your Buddhist practice, you have no way of dealing with King Yama. Are you not scared of falling into and suffering in the Three Lower Paths? Are you really so reckless? If you want to be liberated, you must practice diligently and stop being lazy!
