2025年是乙巳蛇年，靈活多變的蛇是吉祥的象徵，更因為蛇可以蛻皮，有再生、轉化、百折不撓的寓意。今年春聯的墨寶「脫殼自在 諸事共好」，是希望今年在多事曲折，變化無常中，大家能夠放下熱惱執著，熱惱就是污染， 讓我們的心不清淨，因此，當我們放下執著，清淨心就現前，正如熱惱脫殼一樣；而「脫殼」就是讓我們學習消融執著，轉化煩惱，離開多事曲折的心，當我們脫開這個執著的硬殼後，熱惱永息，就會迎來蛻變重生得大自在。

「不怕念起，只怕覺遲」，這個「念」就是這些煩惱障礙，不怕它們現前，只要我們覺悟得快。我們要覺悟什麼？就是脫去這份執著，能斷煩惱，才是真修行！因此，從個人到家庭乃至於國家，當每個人做什麼事情都能為彼此共好而努力，讓國家經濟繁榮社會安定，彼此都能夠互濟共生、相依共存，也讓百官百業百福齊生，皆大歡喜，諸事共好！ 

—Venerbale Hsin Tao’s Spring Couplets for the New Year 2025
The year 2025 is the Year of the Serpent. The flexible and adaptable animal symbolizes good fortune, especially since it can shed its skin, representing regeneration, transformation, and resilience. Venerable Hsin Tao’s spring couplet, "Break free and be at ease, let everything flourish together," expresses the hope that amidst the challenges and uncertainties of the year, everyone can let go of their anxieties and attachments. Such attachments are like pollutants that cloud our mind. When we release these attachments, our mind can become clearer, just as the serpent sheds its skin. "Breaking free" teaches us to calm our attachments and transform our worries, allowing us to move beyond a troubled mind. Once we shed the hard shell of attachment, our anxieties will cease, leading us to a state of great ease and transformation.

"‘Do not fear the arising of thoughts, only fear the delay in awareness.’ These ‘thoughts’ refer to the obstacles and troubles we have. We should not be afraid of them as long as we awaken quickly. What do we need to awaken to? It is the shedding of attachments; the ability to cut through troubles is a true practice of Buddha Dharma! Therefore, from individuals to families and even to nations, when everyone strives for the common good, we can foster a prosperous economy and a stable society. This allows us to support one another, coexist harmoniously, and enjoy the flourishing of all professions and blessings, bringing happiness to all and ensuring that everything thrives together!"
