Master Wang,

Assemble guests,

The Mayor of the Yaizu,

王师尊：

与会的贵宾们：

日本Yaizu巿巿长：

Welcome to the start of Christmas.

欢迎大家来迎接圣诞节的开始。

Christmas that we have with Master Wang means a lot more than that, because it’s a public symbol of the culture and the diversity that Master Wang and his followers have bought to our city.

与　王师尊一起共渡圣诞，有着非凡的意义，因为，这是　王师尊和祂的信众们为我们的城巿所带来的文化和多元性的公众象征。

Our city is richer, kinder, and more enlightened as a result of what Master Wang and his followers have bought to our city.

由于　王师尊和祂的信众们所带给我们的城巿的种种，我们的城巿更为丰富、更为仁慈、更受启迪。

Who would have thought ten years ago that we could have, in the middle of the Liverpool street, a ceremony like this, a ceremony that opens up the world to a special culture, a special warmth.

十年之前，有谁能想到我们可以在Liverpool街举行这样的仪规──如此为世人带来特别的文化、特别的温暖的仪规。

And what wonderful plans that this group has near Hobart for its long-lasting 200 year temple structure.

而这个组织于皞峇灯附近兴建寺庙的长远的二百年计划，又是多么的美好。

But today it’s about Christmas, it’s about ensuring that we have a parade that will make such a huge different to children, to adults and to everyone who is involved as volunteers.

但今天是庆祝圣诞，是确保我们举行一个能够为孩子们、成年人，以及所有参与的义工们，带来巨大的改变的游行。

Master Wang, thank you for this very special part of Christmas, we wish you and your followers the best and we look forward to many more

Christmases and the eye-dotting ceremony that we are about to have.

王师尊，十分感谢您成为圣诞节的十分特别的一份子，我们为您和您的信众们献上最美好的祝福。我们期待着一起共渡更多的圣诞，以及即将发生的狮龙点睛仪规。

Thank you!

谢谢您！

【全场报以热烈的掌声】
