Losar Prayer from Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche ༄།། བཀྲི་ས་ཉི་མ་འབུམ་ཀྱི་མེ་འོད་ལས། ཁམས་གསུམ་སྐད་ཅིག་ཡོངས་་བསྒྲོད་རླུང་་རྟ་ཡིས། ། ནད་མུག་མཚོོན་འཁྲུགས་རྒུད་པ་ཀུནསེལ་ནས། གནམ་ལོ་གསར་ཚེས་འདི་ཡང་བདེ་ལེགས་ཤོག། འཛི་སྒར་ཀོང་སྤྲུལ་པས་སྨོན་འདུན་བགྱིས་།

From the fiery light of a hundred thousand auspicious suns,
May the Windhorse that traverses the three realms in an instant,
Pacify all decay, disease, famine, and the strife of weapons.
May the dawn of this New Year be filled with peace and excellence!
