This is the first New Year for this forum!! Happy New Year to everyone!!!

In the few days into 2007... I heard many tragic stories

First of all, there is an island that sank near India...no survivors...

Secondly, there are news regarding young children who lost their family and are not able to support themselves...

Thirdly... a friend of mine lost her child two months before the child was supposed to be born...

Moreover...the supposedly cold Michigan is abnormally warm...

As I hear these stories... I hope people are not discouraged because of the negative incidents

And I also hope these sad stories would wake people up to treasure what we have

Or we will be sentencing the world to death along with all the wonderful things that are on it

Therefore, I've decided to do a Circumscribed Activity (Jie Jie 結界) before the Chinese New Year

To prey...and to reflect on my own behaviors for the past year

Feel free to join the activity

Hope everybody can have a wonderful and safe 2007
