On the evening of 31 January 2022 — Lunar New Year's Eve — Yanshan Leizang Temple was brilliantly lit. Upon entering the main hall, one was greeted by rows of crimson ingot basins (元寶盆); the altar within and without was filled with offerings of incense, flowers, candles, tea, fruit, and all manner of auspicious gifts. Lanterns of blessing were hung high, radiating red light and auspicious energy that enveloped the entire temple in an atmosphere of great joy and celebration.
2022年1月31日是農曆大年除夕的夜晚，悉尼嚴山雷藏寺燈火通明，寺廟大殿入眼盡是紅彤彤的元寶盆，壇城內外擺滿了香花燈茶果等各種供品，祈福燈籠高高掛起，紅光瑞氣撲面而來，涵蓋整個寺廟的盡是洋洋喜氣。
On this evening, Yanshan Leizang Temple held the ceremony to respectfully bid farewell to the Tai Sui of the Year of Ox — the Star Lord Yang Xin Xingjun — and to joyfully welcome the Tai Sui of the incoming Year of the Tiger — the Star Lord He E Xingjun. Although the pandemic meant that some fellow practitioners were unable to be present in person, their celebratory hearts and their spirit of reverence and practice were in no way absent.
這晚，雷藏寺舉行恭送辛丑太歲楊信星君及喜迎壬寅太歲賀諤星君的儀式。雖然受疫情影響，有同門缺席慶祝現場。然而，慶賀之心、恭敬奉行卻沒有缺席。
Ingot basin after ingot basin — over a hundred of them — covered every inch of the offering tables. Contained within each one were the deep reverence and joyful devotion of fellow practitioners and devotees.
一個個元寶盆，有上百個之多，擺滿了供桌……這其中洋溢著同門信眾那濃濃的恭敬心、喜悅情……
On this auspicious occasion of welcoming the Year of the Tiger, may the new year roar with vigour and vitality. We pray that as the firecracker sounds ring out to mark the old year's passing, all manner of plague and pestilence, all natural disasters and human calamity may be swept away with it — and may the new year bring fresh energy and auspicious clouds of blessing. We wish all people an abundance of clothing and food, a peaceful nation and a content populace, peace under heaven, and freedom from all worry and hardship!
在此嘉慶節日恭迎壬寅虎年虎虎生威，但願爆竹聲中一歲除，除去各種瘟疫病毒，除去天災人難，迎來新年新氣息，帶來祥雲瑞氣，祝願大家豐衣足食，國泰民安，天下太平，無憂無患！
