In the Buddhist tradition, the passing of an old year and the beginning of a new one is celebrated in a sacred manner. We take stock of the past year, our life and relationships, our activities and endeavors, and make a sincere inventory of the actions of our body, speech and mind. Then, symbolically freeing ourselves from the baggage of the past year, we start the New Year with renewed focus, motivation and inspiration.
We welcome you to join us in our 2023 Beginning Anew Ceremony. To support your online participation in a meaningful way, we offer the following resources, which we suggest you view prior to the beginning of the Ceremony at 11 am on Sunday, January 1.
