Saving the Losar Tashi Delek (Happy New Year) card from friends in Tibet until the next year of the Earth Pig in 2031. Will Tibet exist then?
“We join in wishing you, and all sentient beings, peace, health and happiness through the year of the Earth Pig,” reads the card from the staff of the International Campaign for Tibet celebrating the new year, according to the Chinese zodiac, which began this week.
Just for the record, The Idiot was born during the year of the earth rat.
