Tibetan New Year ~ Losar ~ falls on Saturday, February 10 this year, and we will celebrate on Sunday, Feb. 11.  Losar marks the beginning of the Fifteen Days of Miracles, a festival of prayer.  Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises us that this is an especially auspicious time to do spiritual practice, because our merit multiplies exponentially. For FPMT centers, Losar is a special time as it commemorates the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s passing (parinirvana) at dawn of Losar in 1984.

Losar is an exciting time for all ~please join us, everyone is welcome!
