Mahayana New Year is a celebration of the new year for Mahayana Buddhist communities. Translating to Great Vehicle this day is a momentous occasion where communities prioritise bonding with their families to carry out meaningful traditions. The aim is to reach enlightenment through kindness and gratitude and the Mahayana New Year signifies a day to work towards this goal. This New Year reflects a time to meditate and self-reflect individually and as a community.
