Source and method

Dates follow the published Tibetan, Gregorian and Chinese Lunar Calendar Comparison (1951–2050). Dates can differ across monasteries, traditions and published calendars. Observances follow the actual Tibetan month and day: annual observances never fall in a leap month, a repeated day carries its observance on the first occurrence, and an observance on a skipped day moves one day earlier. Hair-cutting and prayer-flag days follow the Tibetan date and are not moved for skipped days. Eclipses are filed by Beijing date.
