There are various differences among them. For example, some are lunar calendars while others are solar calendars.

The year is divided into a twelve year cycle with one animal and one element ruling each year. Whereas each month changes the animal sign, each element is in place for two years, before it changes to a new element. The animals in order are: Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Snake, Monkey, Bird, Dog, Pig, Mouse, Ox and Tiger. The elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Iron\/Metal and Water. The combination of twelve animal signs with five element signs creates a sixty year cycle (12&#215;5=60).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Tibetan calendar and astrological systems are drawn in great part from the Buddhist tantras; thus they are strongly connected to the Vajrayana tradition and its teachings on various energies. Vajrayana teaches that reality has outer, inner, and secret elements. The outer elements are governed by astrological forces. The inner points to spiritual domains such as the motivation of compassion. The secret element is tied to tantric practices like the practice of Tibetan yogas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Tibetan Buddhist tradition there are many connections between spiritual practice and the calendar. Each year carries a certain energy we can connect with and refer to when making such decisions as when to do a retreat, build a monastery, put up prayer flags, and so on. Losar in particular is a period of change and new beginnings, a time to discard excess things and any negative energies remaining from the past year, and make a fresh start. As a support for our annual transition, Nalandabodhi conducts meditation and prayer sessions based on liturgies designed for the changing of the lunar year. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1ea711 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1ea711\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5e10fb\" data-id=\"a5e10fb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4060c17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4060c17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Nalandabodhi \/ Nitartha Calendar<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-41f0a9d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"41f0a9d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-77c4806\" data-id=\"77c4806\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01e9caa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01e9caa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Tibetan Calendar published by Nalandabodhi and Nitartha International each year marks the dates of the four important Buddhist holidays, anniversaries of important lineage figures and other significant dates considered auspicious for regular meditation practices.
