Saga Dawa Düchen
Saga Dawa Duchen is the celebration of the full moon of the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar, one of the most important days for Tibetan Buddhists, marking the enlightenment and parinirvana (passage into nirvana) of Buddha Shakiamuni.
In 2025, Saga Dawa Duchen will take place on June 11th.
Sacred dates are auspicious for generating merit and bringing benefit to all beings, as it is said that in these periods positive and negative actions are accumulated millions of times.

May everyone realize the presence of Buddha at all times, becoming, like the great masters, a gift of virtue to the world.
