2024 Lunar New Year Great Compassion MantCeremony - Personal recount

I had the opportunity to attend the Lunar New Year Great Compassion Mantra (Da Bei Chan) Ceremony organised by DDM Sydney with fellow devoted practitioners on Sunday, 2024 February 11. 

It was a wonderfully auspicious occasion, enabling us to reflect on ourselves and collectively pray for blessings, good health, and happiness for all sentient beings in the process. 

Through this event, participants had the opportunity to reflect, extend, and improve upon their spiritual practice with the enlightening dharma talk via video by Abbott President Venerable Guo Huei and to reflect on the touching New Year blessings video by the Dharma Drum Mountain Association in the process. 

I sincerely wish that 2024 is an auspicious, healthy, and joyous year for everyone, and thank you to DDM Sydney for organising the ceremony.
