WE CELEBRATE LOSAR WITH YOU  –
THE TIBETAN NEW YEAR OF THE WOOD SERPENT

Tibetan New Year, also known as Losar, is the most important festival according to the Tibetan calendar.
It is celebrated over a period of two weeks. The Losar ceremony dates back to the Tibetan, pre-Buddhist period. At that time, Tibetans held a spiritual ceremony every winter. During this ceremony, a large amount of incense was burned to appease the local spirits, gods and protectors. This religious festival later developed into an annual Buddhist festival. The Tibetan calendar consists of 12 lunar months and Losar begins on the first day of the first Tibetan month. The Losar festival is primarily characterized by music, dancing and conviviality.

We are delighted to announce that Venerable Khenchen Nyima Gyaltsen Rinpoche will lead a Puja for Losar during his short stay in the Center. We are happy to invite you to participate in presence. You can also participate online via Zoom. Afterwards we will sit together in the cafeteria enjoying coffee and cake.
