May the rays of the auspicious star shine brightly upon you.
18 Feb 2021 (Day 7 of Ox Year)
My affinity with auspicious Chinese sayings started in the temple days of my childhood half a century ago.
I did my English homework on the very table that my maternal grandpa wrote out words of blessings for people and for the gods.
It is always a delight to see this ancient tradition of displaying sacred words in black ink on vermillion papers alive in the modern homes of friends who are educated in the English medium.
So in the spirit of heritage, and in honour of our South East Asian birthplaces, may the aspiration of this beautiful calligraphy come true for you and all sentient beings.
