Happy Losar to all Friends and Sangha Members,

Happy Lunar New Year, year of the Female Iron Ox!

In Tibetan the term ‘losar’ literally means ‘new year.’ It refers to the lunar new year, a time for new beginnings. Last year had so many difficulties and challenges, so much raw emotion that was unleashed. As we begin the new year, may the difficulties be left behind but may the learning and wisdom that began last year remain and increase.

May we begin the new year by following the tradition of doing virtuous actions, the effects of which are said to be multiplied in the first days and weeks of the new year. Traditionally this includes making offerings to the shrine and to the three jewels, saving lives, practicing generosity of many forms.

This year the importance of nurturing harmony in the world has been made more evident than ever. This can be part of our virtuous work. We can start by making amends with family and friends, to take seriously that the wish “may all beings have peace,” should be actualized in our direct relationships with family, friends, neighbors and sangha members. To cultivate peace in real relationships takes work, it takes time, humility and compassion for ourselves and others. It requires inner work as well as the bravery to work through things together. May we speak words of kindness, forgiveness and care. May we set boundaries well and care for our mental, spiritual and physical health. May we be there for ourselves and others. May we bravely nurture friendships new.

This year I am celebrating Losar at Khandro Ling in Virginia, but you are invited to join me in celebrating tomorrow evening, when we will have an online Losar celebration for members.

May you have much peace, health and joy in the new year. May all your wishes be fulfilled.
