I loved this phrase that was taken from Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh. His sincere and simple greeting to all his disciples has the Dharma embedded in it.
In words it just means.... a new year has dawn, and so you must re-evaluate yourself and start a-new...
No point regretting on past mistakes, what had been done, is done. It is also useless to talk about future, for IT has yet to come. So Now on the 2nd day of the new year... be a better you.. and improve yourself daily...
You get the message...
