新年新什么？
所谓新者何，
亦如常人贴新春联、
着新衣等以为新乎？…
所谓新者，
乃是改过自新也。
— 弘一大师
What Is ‘New’ This Year?
What is that so-called ‘new’?
Is it also like ordinary persons,
with pasting of new spring couplets,
wearing new clothes and others
considered as ‘new’?…
That so-called ‘new’,
thus is to correct faults
to be a ‘new’ person.
— Great Master Hóngyī
