Chotrul Duchen: Shakyamuni Buddha Puja w Geshe Samten

About Losar

Chotrul Duchen (Day of Miracles) marks the end of the 15 Days of Miracles.

Chotrul Duchen, meaning “Great Day of Miraculous Manifestations”, is one of the four great holy days observed by Tibetan Buddhists, always occurring on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Tibetan calendar. During this time, it is believed that the effects of both positive and negative actions are multiplied ten million times.

Join us to celebrate this holy day by reciting the Shakyamuni Buddha Puja (with Tsog offering) and making light offerings, considered to remove obstacles and create conducive conditions for spiritual practice.

Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche for practices to do on merit multiplying days such as Chotrul Duchen can be found here.

All welcome. Offerings of flowers and fruit for puja appreciated
