Drepung Loseling Monastery in Atlanta, GA will celebrate Losar, the Tibetan New Year, on Wednesday, February 18 at 9 am Eastern for the Tibetan year 2153, Fire Horse.

The horse represents speed, freedom, and forward momentum, while the fire element brings passion, energy, and transformation. The Fire Horse year is considered a dynamic time for pursuing new endeavors and positive change.

The monks will also offer traditional Losar servings of sweet rice (dresil) and tea (chai).

We invite you to celebrate with us!
