Losar: The Tibetan New Year

There will be a sign-up sheet at the Dharma center to let us know your food offering. We hope you will join us for this festive occasion.
Losar also signals the beginning of the Miracle Month. During the first 2 weeks of the New Year, it is celebrated that the Buddha displayed a miracle each day to increase the merit and devotion of future disciples. During this time, the effect of one’s actions is multiplied 100,000 fold. It is an auspicious time for meditation practice and beneficial activity.
