This celebration will be broadcast live on YouTube, bringing together students from around the world.

During the event, we will hear Rinpoche’s heartfelt aspirations for the coming year, offering inspiration for our individual and collective practice. We are also excited to introduce Tulku Tashi, a recognized Tulku and Lopön in Mingyur Rinpoche's lineage from Osel Ling Monastery in Kathmandu, currently studying in Madison, Wisconsin. Tulku Tashi will lead us in meditation. This will be followed by a live performance from the Tergar Institute at Osel Ling Monastery in Kathmandu with Sonam Dhonyoe, Joanie Bones and the Buddha Band. They will be singing An Aspiration for the World, a practice that embodies our shared wish for there to be peace and wellbeing in all corners of the globe.

About Mingyur Rinpoche

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a much-loved and accomplished Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher. With a rare ability to present the ancient wisdom of Tibet in a fresh, engaging manner, Rinpoche's profound teachings and playful sense of humor have endeared him to students around the world. His first book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages. When not attending to the monasteries under his care in India and Nepal, Rinpoche spends time each year traveling and teaching worldwide.

About Tulku Tashi

Tulku Tashi, born in Nepal's Nubri valley like Mingyur Rinpoche, moved to Kathmandu at three. Soon after, his family traveled to India’s Sherab Ling monastery and Tso Pema, where Mingyur Rinpoche’s grandfather Lama Tashi Dorje recognized young Tashi as the reincarnation of his cousin, Lama Rigzin Namgyal. At seven, he joined Osel Ling Monastery in Kathmandu, undergoing 21 years of training in Buddhist philosophy and monastic studies, including teaching roles in reasoning and syllogism. Currently, he is studying the Abhidharma and modern psychology, working on a Master’s in Family Psychology at Edgewood College, with a focus on contemplative psychotherapy, merging Buddhist and traditional psychological models.
