The threshold has been crossed. We have arrived in this awesome new year—a fresh horizon that calls us toward a new way of being.
This isn’t just a change of the calendar; it is an invitation to shift how we relate to ourselves, to one another, and to every living being that shares this home. Let us look upon our beautiful planet and her creatures with new eyes.
Individually and collectively, let us decide to nurture and protect. Let us take care of ourselves, each other, and the Earth to the very best of our ability. As we open our hearts to the vast expanse of the Universe we inhabit, may we become vessels for a lasting peace—one that is brimming with active compassion and radical kindness.
Welcome to 2026.
Let’s walk this path together.
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen,
