*FOUR MAJOR BUDDHIST HOLIDAYS (Düchen)
Saka Dawa Düchen – Buddha Shakyamuni Attains Enlightenment

There are four major Special Buddha Days or “Festivals” (düchen) in a year which relate to the life of Buddha Shakyamuni. During these days, it is said that the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied 10 million times, so spiritual practice is strongly advised.


**Tsog or Tsok [Tibetan: tshogs, Sanskrit: Puja]
Please feel welcome to bring cheese, chips, crackers or other finger foods to share.
Tsog (prayers and collective food offering) on the 10th and 25th of each lunar month, Tibetan calendar. The Tibetan word ‘tsogs ‘ means ‘provisions’ or ‘accumulations’ and/or ‘feast-offering’. In this usage, it refers to the ‘two accumulations’ or provisions of merit and wisdom, which are gathered over an inestimable period of time. The fulfillment of the ‘two accumulations’ constitutes the fruition of the path to Enlightenment. The overall purpose of tsog is to distribute merit and wisdom to the participants and all sentient beings.

May All Beings Benefit!
