Happy New Year of the Wood Dragon!​

Khaita Wood Dragon, watercolour by Cindy Faulkner

The Tibetan dragon (or Druk) is a symbol of power and of hidden, intangible knowledge. Being invisible, he manifests himself through sound and energy. The dragon thunders in the sky with the sound of compassion that awakens us from delusion and increases what we can understand through hearing. Thus, it is said that dragons bring forth our awareness towards the things that we cannot see.

“When spring begins, one hears thunderstorms. Live on! When this happens, rain falls, and rain is very important for nature, for maturing and for life. And rainbows, lights, and colours appear everywhere. … thunder, rain, and rainbows appear, which are all typical manifestations of the dragon.”
— from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s commentary to the song Ema Lha Gyallo

Losar is a great time for dancing and singing to bring fortune and peace to the new year. Below are videos and photos from this year Losar performances and celebrations.
