LOSAR IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Dear PI's,
Thank you for beginning to respond to my query about whether you are adding this site to your habitual patterns. Please keep letting me know.

Meantime, it is almost LOSAR. Yes, really! This would be a good time to begin to raise awareness for the coming Fire Pig year which begins on Sunday, February 18th.

In Seattle, at Nalanda West, as well as the chanting of the Losar Liturgy on Sunday, there are plans for Friday evening and Saturday as well. I believe there will be a Mahakala practice on Friday evening. I know they plan a pot luck on Saturday. As I learn more I will definitely let you know.

Losar also is the time when new coordinators, directors and so forth are welcomed to their positions and those who are stepping down receive the appreciation that they so deeply deserve for all their hard work. This is a place where PI's can really be helpful, especially if you are not stepping up or down. It is often difficult for those who are doing the stepping to also take on the celebration, gift giving, champagne or whatever the ceremony is to be.

Please also check with your Practice Coordinator or Center Director and make sure that you have the Losar liturgies. As far as we know at this time, the chants will be the same as last year.

Yours,
Lee
