Vodcast #7: Xin Nian Hao!

by Danny Fisher

If you read the New York Times today, you may have noticed this story about the cleansing rituals that precede celebrations of the Lunar New Year at the American Society of Buddhist Studies in Chinatown. While I was in Taiwan last month, I got to see something like this at Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung. With the photographs and video I shot, I put together the shortest of short films about the touch-up that happens at the Great Compassion Shrine there. You can watch it here (below), at iTunes, at Switchpod, or at YouTube.

Xin Nian Hao!
