Thailand Home’s New Year’s Eve Banquet · Welcoming the New Year in Buddha’s Light

Reported by Qianzi Celestial

Happy New Year everyone! Thailand Home sends heartfelt New Year blessings to all, wishing you health, joy, peace, and fulfillment in the year ahead! May the scattered Chanyuan Celestials reunite in the home soon to establish a model of Xuefeng-style communism for humanity. May Lifechanyuan International Family flourish and prosper across the world.

To express our gratitude for everyone’s support and kindness, Thailand Home continued its tradition of hosting a New Year’s Eve banquet, inviting our neighbors, workers, and friends. Special thanks to Yulin, Roumei, Yaqian, Jiao’e, Lanka, and other dear ones for their loving dedication in the kitchen, tirelessly preparing a sumptuous and delicious feast for all. This year, Thailand Home welcomed over twenty guests, including five international visitors, celebrating a warm and joyful New Year’s Eve with more than thirty people.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, we brought a breakfast carefully prepared by Yulin to the temple to offer New Year’s greetings to Abbot and the monks, sharing a New Year’s breakfast with them. With great compassion and joy, Longpao gifted each of us a New Year’s red envelope filled with blessings.

On the third day of the new year, Abbot invited us to attend a New Year’s blessing ceremony at the Hot Spring Grand Buddha Temple, where the sisters performed a series of dances embodying the culture of Chanyuan Celestial, extending New Year’s blessings to Abbot and the benefactors. In the afternoon, Abbot arranged two tour buses to take the brothers and sisters on an excursion to the Golden Triangle and surrounding scenic spots. On the fourth day, we were once again invited to the temple’s eighth level to listen to Abbot and the monks chant blessings and prayers, followed by a delightful Thai-style noodle meal with them.

The waves of New Year’s joy continued to flow. Whether it was sharing a festive meal with friends on New Year’s Eve or immersing ourselves in Buddha’s light at the temple, feeling the abundant blessings and love from Abbot and the monks, we deeply felt the immense fortune and happiness of living in Thailand Home, living in the Second Home, and walking the Way of the Greatest Creator and Lifechanyuan Path. This grace fills our hearts with boundless joy and gratitude.

May this happiness and blessing accompany us as we step into the new year. Let us continue to strengthen our faith, walk the path of nature, purify our souls, and strive for elevation and sublimation!
