2026 YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE: TOUCHING THE ROOTS, WELCOMING SPRING IN LEISURE
We stand at the threshold of the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse, a year of the powerful and energetic stallion. Yet, amidst the hustle of life, how can this horse lead us toward peace rather than sweeping us into a whirlwind of stressful busyness?
The answer lies in Returning to the Roots and practicing awareness and observation.
1. Understanding “Tet”: The Ritual of Beginning
We must understand the “roots” of our ancestors’ Tet traditions. Tet is not merely a party; it is a Ritual of Beginning.
Regarding the Name: Did you know “Tet” is actually a phonetic variation of “Tiet”—meaning “season” or “period”? “Nguyen” means the start, and “Dan” is the early morning. Tet Nguyen Dan is the very first morning of a new solar term, marking the start of a new life cycle for all beings.
Regarding the Philosophy: In a wet-rice civilization, this is an occasion to offer gratitude to Heaven and Earth and the deities for a year of favorable weather. It is a profound tribute to our origins and a prayer for future abundance and growth.
2. Core Values: When Tradition is an “Anchor” of Awakeness
Tet is the time to practice the Oneness between past and present, between humanity and nature:
Convergence of Heaven – Earth – Human
Tet is when Yin and Yang harmonize. The ancestral altar and the five-fruit tray are the “heart” of the home, connecting us to our lineage. When you light incense with full presence, you are practicing mindful meditation.
The Principle of “Gratitude to the Source”
The rituals for the Kitchen Gods (23rd of the lunar December) or the Year-end party are not mere formalities. They are ways for us to conclude the old in peace, honoring the past to move forward with a light heart.
Loving Speech and Reconciliation
Vietnamese tradition teaches us to dissolve conflicts and speak words of beauty during Tet. This is the “TransformingArt” of communication, helping us sow seeds of peace for the entire year.
3. Breaking “Unconsciousness” to Welcome a Warm Tet
Why do we still feel exhausted even though Tet is for resting? It is because “Holiday Unconsciousness” is at work: the unconsciousness of compensatory shopping, performing for others, and frantic rushing…
The TransformingArt of Master Oneness invites you to:
- 🌱 Identify: When about to buy an item or clean to the point of exhaustion, stop for 3 seconds and ask: “Am I doing this for true joy or out of fear/habit?”
- 🌱 Improvise: Try cleaning like an artist—singing spontaneously as you work—or arranging flowers based on natural intuition rather than trying to mimic a rigid pattern.
- 🌱 Presence: When eating a piece of candied fruit or sipping tea, truly see yourself there. A leisurely Tet is not about doing nothing; it is about doing everything with a liberated spirit.
- 🌱 Create simple, pure vegetarian dishes.
