Calendar

The Tibetan lunar calendar as the monastery keeps it: the day of the month and its element, the sojong and tsog days, the great Dharma anniversaries and the eclipses.

Tibetan lunar days follow no rule a calendar can derive — a day is occasionally doubled, and occasionally skipped. These are the days as the monastery's own table records them, from 20 December 1999 to 27 February 2101.
