About The Event
Teachings on Merit and Sutra Recitation with Khenpo Pema Wangdak
February 12 marks the beginning of Losar, the Tibetan New Year. For fifteen days we commemorate the special moment when Shakyamuni Buddha, to inspire faith among his followers, displayed miraculous powers. This event culminated on the full moon, the fifteenth day of the month. It is thus called Chotrul Duchen, or Day of Miracles, and the entire month is known as Miracle Month. The merits of virtuous actions performed during this period are multiplied by millions.
Every Saturday throughout the Chotrul month, Khenpo Pema will give teachings on merit and lead us in sutra recitation. Observation of the Sojong precepts during Miracle Month is especially encouraged, and Khenpo will offer instruction on the vows two days before the month begins. You may observe the vows for as many days as you wish or for just one day, on Chotrul Duchen.
