Nalandabodhi invites you to greet the new year in community on Losar, Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Sangha members (and Seattle local sangha friends) are invited to join in person at Nalanda West or online.
Losar is the Tibetan new year and a time for clearing obstacles, setting aspirations, and making offerings to the three jewels. It is also a time for Nalandabodhi to come together as a community, practice the dharma, and renew our bonds of fellowship with one another.
A celebratory brunch will be held after our liturgical practice in the Nalanda West community room. Everyone onsite at Nalanda West is invited to enjoy a meal and time together.
