Day 26: Chinese Dragon Year

一本萬利Yiben wanli = "May a small investment bring ten-thousand fold profits." This saying draws out one of the known facts of Chinese people – trade and business. It is for this reason that ‘wealth’ or ‘fortune’ is always something that they work hard for and look forward to. Although wealth or fortune is oftentimes referred to money matters, it can also be viewed as something very spiritual and relational.  

May all our humble beginnings bring ten-thousand fold happiness!
