To all our friends and supporters, Happy Tibetan New Year 2144! May the female fire bird bring you peace, happiness, good fortune, health and prosperity. From all of us at IBA.
Here are a few scenes of losar at IBA – cleaning the courtyard, making tormas and khapsay, reading “fortunes” – humorous sayings written by one of our monks which are wrapped up in khapsay dough then pulled randomly from a bowl, preparing offerings in the dining hall and shrine room, having special rice and Tibetan tea during the morning puja, offering katas to HH Sakya Trzin and Khenpo Jorden.
