										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="row "><div class="wpv-grid grid-1-1  wpv-first-level first unextended" style="padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px" id="wpv-column-97f535f5edfcc6f43f38cbce1d36f8e4" ><p><strong>Happy Losar 2019! This is the year of the Earth Pig and today, February 5, 2019, is the first day of celebration honoring Tibetan New Year.</strong></p>
<p>It is traditional to prepare for this day by cleaning one&#8217;s home &#8211; especially the kitchen as you would be preparing delicious dishes for your family and friends to honor this ancient tradition. Fragrant flowers are used to decorate the home and well-wishes for health, happiness and abundant blessings abound.</p>
<p>Losar predates the arrival of Buddhism in Tibet and has its roots in a winter incense-burning custom of the Bon religion. During the reign of the ninth Tibetan king, Pude Gungyal, it is said that this custom merged with a harvest festival to form the annual Losar festival.</p>
<p>Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (2002: p.xvii &#8211; Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (2002). Healing with Form, Energy, and Light. Ithaca, New York: Snow Lion Publications. ISBN 1-55939-176-6) frames his experience of Tibetan cultural practice of Losar in relation to elemental celebrations and offerings to Nāga (Tibetan: Klu):</p>
<p>&#8220;During Losar, the Tibetan celebration of the new year, we did not drink champagne to celebrate. Instead, we went to the local spring to perform a ritual of gratitude. We made offerings to the nagas, the water spirits who activated the water element in the area. We made smoke offerings to the local spirits associated with the natural world around us. Beliefs and behaviors like ours evolved long ago and are often seen as primitive in the West. But they are not only projections of human fears onto the natural world, as some anthropologists and historians suggest. Our way of relating to the elements originated in the direct experiences by our sages and common people of the sacred nature of the external and internal elements. We call these elements earth, water, fire, air, and space.&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong><em>On behalf of all of Ligmincha Texas, blessings and best wishes for a wonderful year to come! Happy Losar 2019! Tashi Delek!</em></strong></h3>

<p>Ligmincha International is a worldwide network of centers and sanghas founded by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, whose mission is to bring ancient teachings to modern lives. “Artistic expression—indeed, any human activity, no matter what form it takes—that arises from the source is considered sacred,” he writes. “In my tradition this is referred to as <em>trinlé</em>, or enlightened action.” Expression in any voice or form that emerges from this core has the power to heal and to benefit others.</p>
<p>Inspiring the audience to experience well-being, peace, and joy through the sounds of Eastern music from the Himalayas are Raman Maharjan, a Bansuri flute artist from Nepal; and Tsering Wangmo, a Tibetan performing artist and master singer who performs music created by Rinpoche. Alejandro Chaoul leads a meditative practice of stillness, silence, and spaciousness. Geshe Thupten Negi and Lama Kalsang Nyima perform a sacred dance from the Bön tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>This is a benefit concert for Tibetan children at Menri Monastery in India and for refugee children in India and Nepal.</strong></p>
<p><em>Everyone is welcome to come and experience the transformative power of music, sound, and community. Reserve your seat in advance! Get tickets below.</em></p>

<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="color: #000080;">Marcy Vaughn</span></h2>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;">When we rest our attention on the stillness of the body, inner silence, and the spaciousness of mind we connect with the source of healing and creativity within. During this weekend retreat, we will explore the sacred architecture of the channels and chakras within the body. Resting attention in each of five energetic center and chanting a sacred sound associated with that center is a powerful healing practice.</p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;">This practice known as the Five Warrior Syllables, supports the release of physical, emotional and energetic blockages and encourages the emergence of healing qualities. As new spaces open within, we see ourselves and others with fresh eyes, connect to our life with inspiration, and are motivated to engage in actions that benefit others.</p>
