Happy Losar!
The Tibetan lunar calendar marks the New Year on February 18. According to the Tibetan astrological system, this year will be the year of the Fire Horse, a very auspicious sign to fearlessly move forward with beneficial activities.
The elemental sign fire is said to represent warmth, clarity, and energy. Symbolically, it points to the dispelling of ignorance’s darkness from our mind with the blazing flames of joyful enthusiasm in whatever activities we undertake. The animal sign horse is associated with swiftness, autonomy, and power of the heart. The union of the two is like adding fire’s potency to the speed of an excellent horse – an auspicious powerful connection through which all activities can be accomplished.
The two week period following Losar energetically multiplies all our thoughts and actions by 100,000. May we join together our positive aspirations so that we can accomplish compassionate action for the benefit of all beings.
