Losar Tashi Delek!…From the 42nd Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra Rinpoche, Dungsey Akasha Vajra, Jetsunma Kunga Trinley Palter, Jetsunma Kunga Chimey Wangmo & Dagmo Kalden
“It is with profound joy that we share the beautiful drawing above by Dungsey Akasha Vajra Rinpoche for our annual Losar greeting card. In past years, Dagmo Kalden had kindly offered the Losar illustrations; and now at this auspicious time, we rejoice that Dungsey Rinpoche is also sharing his artistic offering with all. As we usher in the auspicious Year of the Fire Horse, our family sends you and your loved ones our prayers and good wishes. May the new year bring an increase of merit and wisdom, excellent health, long life, and the spontaneous fulfillment of all your noble aspirations.”

The Year of the Fire Horse
“Lo” means year, and “sar” means new or fresh. At Losar, we may create a personal altar of offerings, of devotion and open-hearted generosity, to set the tone for the new year and all our activities. In our daily lives, we aspire to align with and reflect upon the benefits received from the dharma, our teachers and sangha. Celebrate the freshness of the new year by lighting a candle, spending a bit of quiet time in meditation, and generating bodhicitta. You may wish to close with aspirational and dedication prayers.

Enjoy Losar with family and friends as it continues for two weeks, until the full moon on March 3rd. This time is known as the Fifteen Days of Miracles, or “Chotrul Duchen”, commemorating the time when Buddha performed miracles to inspire faith. It is a great time for all merit-making, with positive actions believed to be multiplied a million times.

This Year of the Male Fire Horse happens once every 60 years. It is associated with dynamic energy, courage, movement, and spiritual transformation. The purifying power of fire aligns with karmic purification, release of negative energy, and renewal. Create the causes of happiness with positive deeds. Enjoy each precious moment of life.
