From this videoconference talk from 3 January, 2020, Ajahn Anan discusses the topics of the new year's holiday, change, and the benefits of chanting.

An excerpt: "All the things of this world are of the nature to change. For a very long time, the bodies of the people who have been born into this world have been evolving according to nature. But the mind that has not been trained, doesn’t evolve. It doesn’t develop and improve.... So this year, we will come to improve our minds. We will have an unwavering determination to build goodness."
