EBS Tibetan New Year Celebration (Losar)

  • Ecumenical Buddhist Society 1516 West 3rd Street Little Rock, AR, 72201 United States (map)

Bring your favorite food  and join the EBS community in a potluck celebration of the Tibetan New Year – called Losar.

 An occasion for starting fresh, Tibetan people mark Losar by cleaning their homes, receiving blessings and teachings at the monasteries, and partying together with family and friends. In this way, they put the past to rest and make a fresh start in the new year.

 At EBS, we will view a short video about Losar (with an inspirational message from a Lama), followed by a traditional smoke purification ceremony, and then enjoy food together. Traditional foods are especially welcome if you know how to make Tibetan dishes, but bring whatever you like.

 Children are also welcome – this is a very family-friendly event. Please join us if a fresh start is appealing to you. And to enjoy food and companionship with the EBS community.
