在新年即将到来之际，
我们相聚在慈悲的佛陀面前，
点亮手中这一盏灯。
A New Year is approaching, here we are gathering in front of the compassionate Budha to light up the candle in our hands.
愿它的光明为我们传递心声，
愿它的光明为我们奉献感恩。
May its brightness send out our inner voices, and present our gratefulness.
感恩自然的馈赠，
感恩父母的哺育，
感恩师长的教诲，
感恩国土的滋养，
感恩众生的成就，
感恩三宝的护佑。
Be grateful for the giving of nature, the nurturing of parents, the instructions of teachers, the nourishing of land, the accomplishments of all beings, and the blessings of Triratna.
愿我们对拥有的一切心怀感恩，
也愿我们因感恩而乐于付出，
更愿这份感恩给众生带去慰藉，
唤醒那些尘封的心灵，
消融所有自他的隔阂，
Wish we are grateful for all we possess, and willing to give because of such gratefulness; more than that, wish that this gratefulness brings relief to all beings (Sattva) and awakes the dust-laden minds, to lift all barriers between the self and others.
愿人们在感恩中敞开心扉，彼此关爱，
愿世界在感恩中充满温暖，处处和平。
May this gratefulness make people open their hearts and care for each other, and the world full of warmth and peace.
在新年即将到来之际，
我们相聚在庄严的三宝圣地，
