SUMMARY:Saga Dawa Duchen - Buddha Shakyamuni Puja
DESCRIPTION:The MDC will celebrate Saga Dawa Duchen with a Buddha Shakyamuni Puja for Monday evening prayers. The 15th day of this lunar month is a full moon and is called Saga Dawa Duchen. This year\, Saga Dawa Duchen will take place on Sunday\, May 31st. Saga Dawa Duchen\, the “Great Occasion” of the month of Saga Dawa\, is one of the holiest days in Tibetan Buddhism and commemorates the birth\, enlightenment\, and parinirvana of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni\, the supreme and perfect Guru. The fifteenth day of the month is very special as the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni\, which refers to the day the consciousness of the Buddha entered his mother’s womb rather than His physical birth. At the age of 35\, the Buddha attained enlightenment at Bodhgaya. This day also marks the anniversary of His parinirvana at Kushinagara at the age of 80. This is the single most important day of the year for all Vajrayana practitioners and Tibetan Buddhists. Therefore\, this month represents a great opportunity to commemorate and honor the Buddha\, and to accumulate merit and purify our body\, speech\, and mind. This month only occurs once a year\, so please wholeheartedly practice the Dharma during this precious time!
