TIBETAN NEW YEAR 2023
LOSAR – Tibetan: བོད་ཀྱི་ལོ་གསར།, Wylie: lo-gsar is a NEW YEAR festival celebrated in Tibet and similarly by Tibetan Buddhists worldwide. Tibetan Losar 2023 (New Year) festival falls on Tuesday, February 21, 2023. While the Gregorian calendar is purely solar, the Tibetan calendar (Tibetan: ལོ་ཐོ, Wylie: lo-tho) is lunisolar. The Tibetan year comprises either 12 or 13 lunar months, each beginning and ending with a new moon. A thirteenth month is added every two or three years, making an average Tibetan year equal to a solar year.
According to the TIBETAN LUNAR CALENDAR, this year is the Year of the Water Hare 2023. LOSAR 2150 is predicted to be a year of hope.

HOW TO CELEBRATE LOSAR
བོད་ཀྱི་ལོ་གསར།
HOW DO TIBETANS CELEBRATE NEW YEAR?
TIBETANS consider Losar to be an auspicious time of year to renew one’s life. Losar-related rituals fall into two different parts over three days:
- In the FIRST part on the 29th day of the 12th month, Tibetans, likewise Buddhists say goodbye to the old year and let go of all its negative or harmful aspects. This involves cleaning their home/room from top to bottom, including any stairs outside for instance. Tibetans worldwide will also celebrate by making a special Tibetan festive noodle soup, gu-thuk, enjoyed later that night.
- Then, in the SECOND part, on the 30th day, Tibetans spend a busy day cooking and preparing for the New Year.
- Finally, on the THIRD day, they welcome Losar བོད་ཀྱི་ལོ་གསར། or “Tibetan New Year” with wholesome prayers and by inviting all good, auspicious things into their homes and lives.
MOST IMPORTANTLY as with all auspicious celebrations, they always begin by paying homage and making offerings to the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, & Sangha.

They should focus on their inherently creative abilities because they’re imbued with plenty. They’re never happier than when surrounded by either a posse of lovers or family 24/7. One of their Achilles heels is their need for reassurance. They try acting tough but are truly giant teddy bears. Rabbits make good teachers, police officers, artists, and musicians.
