February 16, marks the last day of this Tibetan year. It is traditionally a special day of pacification through the practice of Vajrakilaya; namely, the gutor practice which averts negativity for the year to come.
The following (new moon) day, February 17, Rinpoches will give empowerment and teachings on Vajrakilaya.
Sunday, February 18, marks the first day of the Tibetan new year. Losar celebrations will take place in the morning with festivities throughout the day.
