Happy New Year 2008

We have lived another year
In this sweet and sour world.
But what have I done
That I can truly be proud of?

Did I waste my time sulking, 
moaning and blaming myself and others?
Or did I look ahead and work
Joyfully on something worthwhile?

Let us all resolve to be more joyful,
More relaxed,
And above all kinder to oneself and others,
In this New Year of 2008.


With best wishes,
Ringu Tulku
