【Description】
As the New Year 2021 approaches, people are unable to gather at the meditation center to welcome the new year due to the pandemic. On behalf of the public, Grandmaster JinBodhi offered incense to the Buddha and bodhisattvas, praying for their blessings and protection for world peace, favorable weather, and the quick passing of the pandemic. Grandmaster hopes that all sentient beings be protected with good fortune, have peace and happiness in life and at work, and enjoy a wonderful life.

Opening：
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! I understand that many are unable to come to our centers for incense-offerings due to the Covid-19 pandemic; therefore, I will offer incense to the Buddha and bodhisattvas on behalf of everyone.
Incense-Offering Wish：
All-Compassionate Sakyamuni Buddha, Eastern Paradise Medicine Buddha and Thousand-Armed-and-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva, please receive my gratitude. I wish for all sentient beings to be blessed with good luck, auspiciousness, good weather, and peace. May the pandemic soon pass, and may everyone live and work in peace, contentment and happiness!
Light-Offering and Blessing：
These lotus lamps are gifted to all sponsors of Guru Rinpoche’s Heart Mantra, as well as all those who have supported the Cibeiyin online store. Your actions have generated immeasurable merits and virtues. At the start of the Lunar New Year, this lamp sets the stage for luck throughout the year, protecting us from disasters, illnesses and negative energies. Your troubling encounters shall become auspicious, and fortune shall shine upon you.
Let us light lotus lamps and send a blessing of compassion, wisdom and illumination to everyone!
I wish all Bodhi Meditation practitioners an auspicious Lunar New Year with good health, happiness, relationship harmony, and academic and career success.
Happy Year Of the Ox！
