Losar Practice

Tibetan New Year

It is very auspicious to start the New Year of the Fire Horse with practice.

During the first month of the new year – the Holy month of Bumjur Dawa, the power of our practice is said to be multiplied many times, so it is a very good time to direct our practice and make strong aspirations and dedication prayers.

You can also make a donation and dedicate your offering to removing obstacles for yourself or a loved one and accompany your donation with an aspiration prayer online.
