Surviving the Workday

In the Tibetan calendar.

And it’s Losar, the Tibetan New Year (and almost the end of the new year celebrations). Losar is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, so the date varies year to year. It’s also listed as a half dozen different dates in 2006! (So clearly this is more difficult to calculate than you might think).

Much like many Christian holidays are pre-dated by similar pagan ones, Losar is predated by a holiday. Tibetans have always celebrated Losar, even before they practiced Buddhism.
