Namdroling Monastery has just completed the annual practice of “Gutor.” This ritual represents dissolution and pacification of any negativity from the previous year thus eliminating obstacles for the coming year. We observe Losar, the Lunar New Year of 2140, Year of the Water Snake, on the 11th day of February 2013.

May all be auspicious for everyone and may this practice be a cause for a peaceful New Year.
