2010 Metal Tiger Tibetan New Year

The Shambhala Meditation Center Tibetan New Year Celebration

Cheerful Year of The Metal Tiger

I am the delightful Paradox.
All the world is my stage.
I set new trails ablaze,
I seek the unattainable,
and try the untried.
I dance to life's music
in gay abandon.
Come with me on my carousel rides.
See the myriad of colors,.
the flickering lights.
All hail me the unparalleled performer.
I AM THE TIGER
