Saga Dawa DuchenSaga Dawa is the holiest month of the year for Tibetan Buddhists. During this very special time, meritorious action is multiplied 100,000 times, so positive actions are especially powerful. The most important days in Saga Dawa are the birth of the Buddha and the Buddha’s Enlightenment and Parinirvana, which is known as Saga Dawa Düchen; düchen means "great occasion".
Throughout this month, Buddhists travel to temples and monasteries to practice in a formal but celebratory way by reciting devotional prayer, sutras and mantras. They also make a point of going on pilgrimage, practising circumambulation and making offerings of generosity and butter lamps. Of these meritorious practices, one of the most important is reciting and honouring the precious words of the Buddha. |
