Losar 2026

Tibetan New Year & Lama Yeshe's parinirvana

Losar holds a very special place in our hearts as it also celebrates the parinirvana of the founder of the FPMT, Lama Thubten Yeshe. He passed into parinirvana on 3rd March 1984, at 49 years old.

We will hold an extensive Guru puja at 10:00 in the morning to commemorate and honour Lama Yeshe’s life and vast kindness. The celebration will continue with a festive lunch at 12:30, shared in the spirit of joy and community.

You can sign-up for the lunch here : Lunch Registration

It is also worth mentioning that Losar and the subsequent fifteen days are considered particularly auspicious as they are believed to be merit-multiplying days. According to the Vinaya text “Treasure of Quotations and Logic”, the merit of virtuous actions performed during this time is multiplied by 100 million.
