My New Year’s wishes to the world

My New Year’s wishes to the world

The year 2019 is going to be changed to the new year 2020 very soon but don’t forget that it is just the label, nothing more. People all over the world will welcome to the new year 2020 as usual by loudly screaming ‘Happy New Year’ and clasping very traditionally with loud noice.

However, if all of us still cherish our old useless ideas that have not worked well so far for the solution we need, and if we also carry them on to the new year, how can we truly and properly welcome to new year 2020?

By learning weaknesses and strengths from old year, 2019, We all each individual must be ready to let go of our old habitual patterns, ideas, opinions, emotions and the techniques, whatever that have not worked well so far for the solution we need.

We must prepare with all newly updated and modified wishes, ideas, opinions and techniques to welcome to such a pure and innocent new year 2020 coming soon.

What I want to advise you all, monks and laypeople is to add just 2 minutes breathing meditation in your everyday’s life as new year resolution. Only then will your new year be so blessed and precious. You will see the benefits by your own experience and by your own direct knowledge.

You should also determine that you will do just 2 minutes breathing meditation everyday till the end of the year 2020. Now, you will know how to do this two minutes meditation in your everyday’s life.

Here is how to do for the 2 minutes meditation

As soon as you wake up, before you get up, at the moment while lying down on your bed, you should prepare your reclining position in a comfortable way and relaxed and pay attention to your breathing as they are “coming in and going out” just for two minutes in bed while comfortably lying down.

It must be just 2 minutes, please, no more but you must do it everyday for the whole year 2020. It will bring you a very satisfactory benefit and will make you achieve whatever you wish.

Believe me. All positive things will come to you on your way ahead by doing so because your awareness, concentration, attention and wisdom will become stronger day by day and keep you spiritually healthy and resilient to everything you have to face. It will help you a lot more than that. You just need to do it without words. You know ‘Actions speak louder than words’.

I hope you all will do so.
May the coming new year 2020 bring you all the auspicious blessings, joy, happiness, peace, safety and security, prosperity, benefits and all bests of the bests.
