Happy Lunar/Losar New Year
17th – 18th February
As the new moon rises and we welcome the Year of the Horse, my heart is full of gratitude for the beautiful connections we share. May this year be more than just a change of the calendar—may it be a gentle blooming of your inner peace. I pray that your days are filled with the kind of laughter that warms the soul, and your heart remains as light as a summer breeze.
May every step you take lead you toward your dreams, and may you always find a reason to smile, even in the smallest moments. Let us walk together into this new year with kindness in our hands and love in our hearts.
Tashi Delek! Wishing you a sweet and wonderful New Year.”
With all my love and blessings,
Khenchen Rinpoche.
THE ROAR OF 358 BEGINS NOW
Today, a powerful assembly of 358 monks in Dehradun unites for a massive 7-day Yamantaka retreat. As the lunar year draws to a close, we enter the sacred Gutor period-the time for casting away all obstacles, illnesses, and negativities of the past. The collective energy of 358 chanting voices is a thunderous force, building a “vajra fence” of protection for the New Year to come. We dedicate this practice with fierce compassion to clear the energy of the “Old Century”: “By the thunderous voice of 358 Monks, chanting the Ancient Song of Power! We summon the presence of Yamantaka, the Diamond Terrifier, the Slayer of Death! HUM!.
With the weapon of ultimate wisdom, we smash the iron walls of suffering! We burn the karma of the Old Century into ash! We sever the roots of all fear and attachment! I dedicate this exploding energy to all sentient living beings- May every obstacle be crushed! May every life force be invincible! May the shadows of the past be utterly destroyed! By this Truth, may all beings rise-fearless, protected, and triumphant-into the clear light of freedom!” Join us in spirit as we clear the path. May all beings find peace.
