Losar is considered to be the most significant festival of the Buddhist Community in Tibet.  The festival marks the Tibetan New Year and is celebrated with great splendour and grandeur. The Tibetan Buddhists observe the festival to ward off evil spirit and welcome the arrival of the New Year filled with happiness and prosperity.

According to the Tibetan lunisolar calendar, Year of the Iron Rat, will fall on Monday, 24th February 2020.

A 5 days celebration ceremony leading by our Spiritual Director, Venerable Sonam Tenzin Rinpoche from Barom Kagyu Sydney will be held in Sefton, Australia this year. The sessions will begin with the Wrathful Guru Rinpoche Prayer from 20th February 2020 through to the White Zhambala Blessing on Tibetan New Year Day, 24th February 2020.
