Saka Dawa — Celebrating Lord Buddha’s birth, Enlightenment and Parinirvana

Saka Dawa is the most important Tibetan Buddhist festival day, celebrating Lord Buddha’s birth, enlightenment andparinirvana. Buddhists around the world engage in many auspicious and merit-making activities such as sponsoring or engaging in beneficial pujas, practices, and prayers; and making extensive offerings to teachers, holy objects, and auspicious charitable activities.

We will celebrate Saka Dawa at Chandrakirti with Guru Puja Tsog and prayers
Nalanda Hall, Chandrakirti Meditation Centre
31/05
6pm

Containing the whole path to enlightenment, this Guru Puja Tsog is the foundation of all spiritual progress, and is a profound and joyous event! Nurture the powerful potential for spiritual growth with a ceremony rich in symbolism. Reliance on our spiritual teacher is the foundation of all spiritual progress, and this ceremony helps us create mountains of merit and purify broken samaya.

Please bring a food offering – preferably something baked / fruit / something avoiding plastic. Thank you!
