Losar Tashi Delek: Taking the Powerful Opportunity of the Fire Horse Year!
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, all our Acharyas, Lamas, Mitras, and the Nalandabodhi Sangha wish you a Male Fire Horse Year full of positive energy and great accomplishments.
A Precious Opportunity
The Fire Horse year is a precious opportunity. In his Losar address, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche pointed out it arrives only once every sixty years. So, he encourages us to make good use of this opportunity: harnessing the energy of the fire and the forward-moving power of the horse. If we catch it with the lasso of mindfulness and are skillful, we can truly accomplish what we set out to do.
Joining Rinpoche’s concluding aspiration, we wish for this fire to burn all negativities and for this precious horse to carry you in a positive direction — ultimately to the place free from all suffering and pain: awakening. May all your wishes come to fruition.
Happy Losar!
Tibetan calendar as guide
Traditionally, to accomplish our aspirations, we can seek support by looking at the Tibetan Calendar. Want to learn more about the meaning of the various aspects of a year, a month, and days? Every year, Nalandabodhi and Nitartha International publish a Tibetan New Year Calendar we can consult as guidance for everything we do in our daily life and follow in the footsteps of the Buddha.
