Time passes so quickly that we barely notice. Soon we will hang up a new calendar for 2011. A new year is coming again.
As we look back over the last year, our hearts should be full of gratitude for every minute, for every second of peace and safety. We must welcome the New Year with a sincere and pious heart.
This year will mark the 45th anniversary of Tzu Chi. I am very grateful for every day and for every hour that has passed. The achievements of Tzu Chi are due to the wisdom and hard work of so many people.
I am grateful to everyone for everything. May the year ahead be full of peace, wisdom and blessings for everyone.
