Wishing you a happy Lunar New Year! This celebration marks the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse, with the Chinese New Year on February 17, 2026, and the Tibetan New Year on February 18. This is regarded as an exceptionally auspicious time; the horse represents swiftness, fulfillment of wishes, and noble qualities.

Please consider donating by March 3, 2026, the Festival of Miracles (Tib. Chotrul Duchen), which commemorates the culmination of Buddha Shakyamuni’s display of miracles over 15 days. These miracles include great feats such as pacifying extremists and, in turn, inspiring their followers to take ordination and practice the Dharma. During this period, the effects of our actions are multiplied and thus the strength of our virtuous deeds is greatly increased.
With all your support, we can help fulfill the noble vision of His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Dorje Chang for Sakya Thegchen Phuntsok Ling to swiftly embody the meaning of its sacred name—The Sanctuary for the Mahayana Teachings of Sakya to be Abundant.
In this Year of the Fire Horse, may all of you enjoy good health, a long life, prosperity, and success in all your endeavors.
