New Year message from Rector of International Theravada Buddhist Missionary University Agga Maha Pandita Agga Maha Saddhamma Jotikadhaja Agga Maha Ganthavacaka Pandita Maha Dhammakathika Bahujana Hitadhara Dr Bhaddanta Hsekinda

Now is an excellent occasion for Myanmar New Year 1386 ME, leaving the old year 1385 ME.
Meritorious deeds are free from misdeeds and bring good deeds. Merit itself is free from sins, helps all living beings be free from sins and brings varieties of good deeds to all.
Nature of merits brings good things and deeds to all individuals whenever they do everything. As such, those wishing to enjoy good things and good deeds are keen to perform meritorious deeds.
I extend my heartfelt wishes for all to perform good things by learning techniques and accumulating knowledge with rationality to benefit all.
Meritorious performances based on knowledge and rationality are more potent than ordinary meritorious deeds.
As such, individuals need to consider both good and bad moves of past events to possess a promising future.
Individuals need to foster the willingness to benefit from everything as much as they can.
Individuals have to sow seeds of maritorious deeds in all issues, including economic, social and educational issues, with a noble spirit in order to enjoy the reflection of good things.
If so, they can surely enjoy a variety of good things.
As such, everybody needs to try hard to be vicious to serve the interests of the State and themselves.
