7 Portraits of Roy Kiyoshi Revealing the Lunar New Year Traditions He Practices, Releasing Birds and Distributing Basic Necessities - Carrying Deep Meaning

He explained that the tradition is not only practiced at home but also at the temple. In fact, Roy and his family often provide basic necessities to temples in need. "Sometimes if the temple is old or a bit rundown, we support them with basic necessities for those living at the temple," he added.

One of the traditions that is always performed is releasing birds into their natural habitat. Roy said that this ritual has a deep meaning for him and his family.

"Usually, the term we use for releasing birds is known in Chinese culture. So releasing birds into their habitat is to make them happy again, returning to nature," explained the man known for his spiritual abilities.

He also emphasized that this tradition is not limited to birds only, but also other living creatures like turtles. For Roy, returning them to their natural habitat is a form of respect for life.

"So the principle is, releasing living creatures whether birds, turtles, is absolutely fine because we are returning them to their natural habitat and they can fly freely," he said.

Entering the Chinese New Year, Roy sees it as the right time to improve oneself and carry out new resolutions. He expressed his hope that this year will be better than the last. "Yes, I see it as a hope that this Chinese New Year I will be more successful, healthier," Roy said.

In addition, Roy emphasizes the importance of filling the Chinese New Year with social activities. He believes that this celebration is not just about festivities, but also a moment to share with others. "My resolution after the Chinese New Year is to have more social activities. So, the meaning is not just about indulgence," he said.
