Today, the 28th February is the first new year day of the Tibetan lunar calendar 2152. Here are some sights during the evening at the Bodhi tree and temple Bodh Gaya, India, and at the Tergar monastery (“Karmapa temple” as the locals call it) with the nuns (and Khenpos) attending the Arya Kshema event for nuns, for their Losar morning (for more on this groundbreaking event for Karma Kagyu nuns, created by the 17th Karmapa, see here).
Wishing you all a meaningful, happy, auspicious, healthy and wise New Year. Losar la Tashi Delek!
