The inspiration for this year’s calendar is an excerpt from “Invocation” by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche:
Dewdrop, lamp, phantom, rainbow, oasis,
Such is my life and the lives of others –
I surrender to this truth.
To the one who spoke this truth,
The Prince of the Shakyas
I offer my adoration.
— Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
