Losar (Tibetan New Year) Celebration, Sunday, February 14th
This is just a reminder that we will be celebrating the arrival of the Iron Tiger Male year with a special Losar (New Year) celebration on Sunday, February 14th. We will continue our usual Sunday morning mindfulness group, break for lunch, and then from 2-4pm do a group Lama Chopa ('Offering to the Spiritual Guide', 'Guru Tsog') with lots of offerings. Please arrive by 1:45 pm with your food and other offerings and with your bell and vajra, etc. if you normally use those.
This practice is open to everyone, and will be done in both beautiful tradition Tibetan chanting and in English (according to section). This practice is done to clear obstacles to developing realizations along the spiritual path, draw closer to our Lama, and pray for the well being of all sentient beings. Please join us in welcoming the new year, and praying for an auspicious year to come for our Gaden Choling community and the world at large.
