日邁月征，時盛歲新。親愛的朋友們，在這萬物生輝、萬象春華的美好時刻，我謹向海內外藏族同胞致以藏歷木龍新年的祝福，羅薩扎西德勒！

　　2023年，征途如畫、奮斗如歌。億萬大眾踔厲奮發、辛勤耕耘，在平凡的崗位上創造了不平凡的業績，同祖國和時代一起成長與進步。

　　過去的一年，我用六個多月的時間，走訪了西藏及四川、云南有關州縣，看到了各族群眾團結和睦，僧俗和敬，處處是陽光、笑臉?？吹搅巳伺c自然和諧共生，山河錦繡、生機盎然。看到了藏醫藥得到傳承和創新發展，藏文古籍文獻和非物質文化遺產得到有效保護。看到了在祖國光輝恩澤下，宗教信仰自由得到充分保障，藏傳佛教活動健康有序，廣大僧尼的學習生活條件越來越現代化?？吹搅肃l親們過上了更加幸福祥和的生活，家家戶戶自發懸掛起一面面五星紅旗，發自內心地感恩偉大的祖國、偉大的時代。

　　2023年，生活或有坎坷，但我們信心洋溢。面對地震、洪澇、臺風等自然災害，面對各種困難和挑戰，大家守望相助，共克時艱。團結就是力量，信心賽過黃金。這份人間溫暖感天動地。

　　2023年，祖國的上空既有人間煙火，亦有蓮花清香。人們有了堅實地面向現實、接納自己、包容他人的心量，以每一位平凡生命的奮斗韌勁，向光而行、向善而進，凝聚起新時代中國繁榮進步的磅礴力量。

　　追求和平，是人類向往美好生活的共同愿景。佛經認為，“欲得凈土，當凈其心；隨其心凈，則佛土凈”。每位中華兒女的前途命運都與國家和民族的前途命運緊密相連，發出的每一份善心，奉獻的每一份善行，邁出的每一步，都將匯聚成中華民族昂揚奮進、維護和平的歷史洪流。

　　展望新的一年，希望我們倍加珍惜當下的和平環境，如同呵護自己的眼睛一樣愛惜和平。自凈其意，攝心為善，善待“自家寶藏”，通過自我內省和觀照，實現內心的平和與安寧、自我的完善與超越，用慈悲與智慧的方式解決矛盾和紛爭。愿世界充滿愛與和平！

　　Dear friends, on this special occasion of the Tibetan New Year in the year of the wood Dragon, I’d like to extend best wishes to all my fellow Tibetan friends around the globe. Tashi Delek!

　　2023 was a year of great accomplishments. Millions of individuals from different walks of life all played a part in moving our nation forward.

　　Last year, I spent more than 6 months visiting many places in Xizang, Sichuan and Yunnan. I witnessed the unity among different ethnic groups, as well as the harmony between monks and nuns, and the common people. Everywhere, I saw sunshine and smiling faces. I heard stories about how much people enjoy living in harmony with nature. I saw mountains and rivers that are beautiful and vibrant. I saw how Tibetan medicine is being inherited, developed and promoted, and how our ancient Tibetan books, as well as our Tibetan intangible cultural heritage, are being preserved. Thanks to the support of our nation, freedom of religious belief is fully guaranteed, Tibetan Buddhist activities are well-organized, and the living standards of monks and nuns are steadily improving.I also saw people living in greater happiness and peace. The national flags fluttering in the wind at every home are an expression of their gratitude to our great motherland and this great era.

　　Life was not always easy in 2023, but still we are filled with confidence. Whenever natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or typhoons struck, or other hardships occurred, people worked together to overcome the difficulties. Together, we are stronger, and when we face tough times with unity, it makes all the difference.

　　Although we faced challenges in 2023, we could also appreciate the fragrance of the lotus flowers.

　　People really embraced each other, accepting their own imperfection and understanding others. They pushed forward all the way with determination. That spirit, that’s what’s driving China forward into a brighter future.

　　We all want peace. Peace is the root for prosperity and precondition for development. Human civilization in the 21 century should aim to benefit all human beings and respect every life. Every little act of kindness, every bit of goodness we put out there, it adds up. Let’s keep that momentum going for establishing the community with a shared future for mankind.

　　Speaking of which, let’s make this year count. Let’s cherish peace as much as we cherish our own eyes. We need to purify our minds and find that inner peace we’re all after. Let’s tackle problems with kindness and wisdom, and spread love and peace wherever we go.

　　With sincerity, I pray for the prosperity and peace of our nation, for world peace and for the well-being of all living things. I wish you prosperity in the year of the Dragon. I also wish you success and good fortune. Tashi Delek!
