As the Tibetan New Year, Losar 2152, dawns upon us, the Himalayas have been graced with a long-awaited gift – gentle yet abundant snowfall blanketing Ladakh. This rare and beautiful blessing arrives at the perfect moment, reminding us of renewal, purity, and the interconnectedness of all beings. We at the Ngari Institute Foundation wish you all a joyous and prosperous Losar, filled with peace, compassion, and new beginnings.
For the people of Ladakh and the wider Himalayan region, snowfall is not just a natural occurrence; it is a life-giving force that nurtures the land, replenishes water sources, and renews the spirit of the community. The arrival of snow on this auspicious occasion feels like a divine blessing, and our heartfelt gratitude goes to the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, for this precious gift.
At the Ngari Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Saboo Village, the snowfall has brought immense joy. The students, teachers, and the beloved four-legged companions of the Institute have been celebrating this blessing together, embracing the happiness that nature has bestowed upon them. Check out this video from Ngari Institute’s Facebook Page, where you will see Venerable Geshe Tsewang Dorje and Lama Yeshe joining in the celebration, rejoicing in the snowfall with the dogs of Ngari!
