DESCRIPTION:

This year is 2151 in the Buddhist calendar. The Tibetan Buddhist Calendar is the most common calendar used in the Buddhist faith. For simplicity purposes and so we can represent the full Buddhist calendar on LEEP, we refer to the calendar as Losar.

Losar, the Tibetan New Year, is a festival steeped in cultural and spiritual significance, celebrated primarily in Tibet and by Tibetan Buddhist communities worldwide. This annual event typically falls in February or March.


 he Tibetan calendar is known as the "Tibetan Lunar Calendar." It is a lunisolar calendar, which incorporates aspects of both lunar and solar calendars. The Tibetan calendar is used primarily for religious and cultural purposes, including calculating religious festivals, auspicious dates for various activities, and astrological forecasts.


This calendar is deeply interwoven with Tibetan Buddhist traditions and is based on ancient Indian and Chinese calendar systems. Its structure and calculations are unique, featuring a complex system of cycles, lunar months, and intercalary months to align the lunar and solar years. The Tibetan Lunar Calendar is central to the cultural and spiritual life of the Tibetan people, influencing many aspects of their daily lives and practices.

The Tibetan Lunar Calendar consists of 12 months, each named after an animal in the Tibetan zodiac, similar to the Chinese zodiac.

The months are as follows:


  1. Tiger Month

  2. Rabbit Month

  3. Dragon Month

  4. Snake Month

  5. Horse Month

  6. Sheep Month

  7. Monkey Month

  8. Bird Month

  9. Dog Month

  10. Pig Month

  11. Mouse Month

  12. Ox Month

 The Tibetan calendar is lunisolar, so an extra month (an intercalary month) is occasionally added to keep the calendar in sync with the solar year. This extra month is usually added every two or three years and is a repeat of one of the standard months, typically the fourth or fifth month. The decision to add this intercalary month derives from complex astronomical calculations.

As a result, Tibetan lunar months do not align perfectly with Western Gregorian calendar months.
