Table of Years 1027-1566

This table shows Tibetan and Gregorian calendar equivalents.

The Tibetan astronomical system and calendar making is based on the Sri Kalachakra Tantra (Wheel of Time Tantra), which was translated into Tibetan from Sanskrit in 1027 A.D. Therefore Tibetan calendar also began year 1027, which was a Fire-Rabbit Year. The Tibetan calendar operates with a 60-year cycle of five elements and twelve animals. This cycle is called Rab-byung and it runs from a Fire-Rabbit year to a Fire-Tiger year. At present, in the year 2001, we are in the 17^th Rab-byung and undergoing its 15^th year, Iron-Snake (this you can see in the next table, years 1567-2046). Please remember that the Tibetan New Year is around February, while the Elemental New Year is two to three months earlier in December.
