Opinion: Losar, Guthuk and more
By Jampa Yangchen
The Tibetan New Year or Losar falls on Friday, February 12, 2021: the year of the Female Iron Ox- Year 2148 of the Tibetan Calender
Losar is an event that is very much anticipated by all Tibetans for it is not only the beginning of a new year, but also a day when everyone becomes a year older according to the Tibetan calendar. Preparations are made well ahead of time; houses are cleaned or refurbished weeks before. Images or statues of deities are brought out from their shrines and wiped clean. In some cases, the brocade and silk garments from the shrine are replaced. This is also a good time to look through one’s household items, and clothes and either give or throw away those that you no longer need or that are damaged. New clothes are also made for the entire family to wear on Losar day. All of these are done to ensure that we celebrate Losar with as much auspiciousness as possible and enter the new year renewed and refreshe
