NY Tara Mandala Sangha Virtual Losar Chöd Tsog

Losar is Tibetan New Year, and it is very auspicious to practice on the days leading up to the first New Moon of the Tibetan Calendar.   As with many New Year celebrations there is a focus on removing negativity, clearing the energy for the upcoming year, and opening up to the benefits that the new year may hold.

A Tsog is a ceremonial gathering, a feast, where we have an opportunity to gather, eat, and drink with the awareness of ‘One Taste.” “One Taste’ is the experience of eating without judging what we are eating.  This tantric practice helps us get out of our judgmental patterns of deciding what we like, what we dislike, and to what we are indifferent.  In Tsog, we experience being present, and understanding the interconnectedness of senses and sense objects.
