Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association celebrates Lunar New Year around the world.
From Hsihu, Formosa (Taiwan), to Seoul, South Korea, to New Jersey, USA, Centers of our
Association across the globe marked the festive Lunar New Year together, in shared hopes of
heralding the spring and good fortune for the planet. The Lunar New Year, an important
traditional holiday in many Asian communities, brings memories of many past celebrations
in the presence of Supreme Master Ching Hai, who on this occasion would often encourage
our Association members to renew their determination to progress spiritually through daily endeavors.
This year, with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s permission, our international Association
members gathered at the Hsihu Center, to pray for world harmony, as well as to enjoy a colorful
array of uplifting performances, a fun vegan barbeque, and even a Loving Hut cooking class.
Every member also received a traditional lucky red envelope, as per Supreme Master Ching
Hai's loving instruction.
(In Chinese) (F): Bonus points are skyrocketing!
(F): Hey, how much? (F): Increased to hundreds of thousands of
points! (F): Speaking of grace, it’s much more than
that; 40% more blessing by keeping a vegan diet,
and there's a negotiation for 10 billion souls to be liberated!
(F): Spiritual Blessing Lines, Plan B, Plan C, Plan D… Hey, wait, wait a second…
(In Aulacese/Vietnamese) When spring arrives, our hearts are filled
with happiness. Joyous sounds of firecrackers echo, how exhilarating!
(In Chinese) Traveling by way of the clouds
to distant realms You spread your love throughout the cosmos…
(In Aulacese/Vietnamese) Let’s greet the Lord of Spring,
descending to Earth The world listens to the spring’s ardent
affection Flowers forever retain their fragrance.
(In Chinese) Let’s renovate the grey city
To be our protective safety net Do you believe in tomorrow’s prophecy?
Vibrant youths, drumming away!
(In Aulacese/Vietnamese) O Spring, you’ve arrived! There’s no greater
joy than a Spring day coming. O Spring, you’ve arrived! Fireworks on New
Year’s Eve are welcoming the Spring season.
More warmhearted parties were also held in our Association’s centers throughout the
world, while others organized charity events such as New Year festivities for orphans and
prison inmates, inspired by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s example of touching and uplifting
spirits.
(In English) Our Association members from New Jersey, USA

Lunar New Year, beginning with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s words of wisdom and love, along
with traditional firecrackers and some fun entertainment.
(In English) (F): Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds
fly...
(In Chinese) (M): Friends, together for life
Those days will never come back again.
(In Korean) (F): Don't be surprised
when you find yourself flying high in the sky
in freedom.
(In Aulacese)] That spring we dreamt of is coming for the
first time With drifting smoke on the river, a rooster’s
noon crow by the river A joyous sunny afternoon for many hearts.
(In Korean) (M): Another day
is fading far away.
(In English) Go! Go! Go!
Go to the Future Go! Go! Go!
Above the stars
(In English) (F): We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me!

this desperate plight!
Wishing all people around the world a secure and peaceful 2011, we especially thank Supreme
Master Ching Hai for imbuing such great joy as well as real hope in human hearts for our
planet’s future. May this New Year be the one in which, with Heaven’s benevolent grace,
our world is revived and humanity elevated to bring peace to all co-inhabitants�
