2. Losar, the Tibetan New Year, begins tomorrow in our American time zone.
This Year of the Wood Sheep celebration runs February 19-21, 2015, and is
not dissimilar to the Chinese astrological (lunar) calendar. Like a spiritual
awakening, each and every New Year holyday can remind us of birth’s sacred
meaning.
This huge and ancient 3 day Himalayan festival, now celebrated all around the
world, is a time for purifying and relinquishing the old unwholesome and
stultifying karma (actions and results) in our life outer and inner, and giving
birth to the new, the brighter and more wholesome and enlightened. Who
doesn’t wish to participate in that?
Like a harbinger of spring, the New Year is a time when we hope for new and
favorable beginnings: new light, new hope, renewed energy and aspirations.
When we hold this consciousness in our heart, we naturally offer it back to
life, not only giving life meaning but revitalizing it. We then participate not
only in the mystery of our own being but in the whole wonder of creation. A
NewYear celebration returns us to birth’s sacred meaning, which can be
found each and every moment for those with eyes to feel it.
3. Awakening this kind of soulful, loving awareness is a returning to the heart of
life, no longer through the illusion of separation but from a place of sacred
communion, co-meditation and interbeing, where we are the new iye. Co-
meditative inter-awareness allows us to relax, relent (drop our guard), and
dissolve into that which far exceeds our small selves, as if bursting a bubble
and recognizing that there’s no difference between the air inside the bubble
and the air outside—it’s all good ole air. Please join me in elevating and
deepening your me-ditation into we-ditation.
As an India sage prayed, sang, and chanted: “I am a bubble, Lord; make me the
sea.”
