Chotrul Düchen, Festival of Miracles
Tuesday, February 19 at 6:30pm
Lama Chopa with Tsok
Chotrul Düchen, known as the Festival of Miracles or Butter Lamp Festival, is the first of four major holidays during the Tibetan Buddhist calendar year.
The first 15 days of Losar commemorate 15 successive days on which Lord Buddha displayed a different miracle in order to increase merit and aid the devotion of future disciples.
These first 15 days of the New Year leading up to Chotrul Duchen is considered an especially auspicious time to practice.
Chotrul Düchen, the 15th day, falls on Tuesday, February 19. Practice is emphasized on this day
RigDzin will mark this auspicious day with Lama Chopa with Tsok, and Prayer for World Peace. Please join us on Tuesday, February 19, 6:30 pm.
In the practice of Tsok we make an offering of food and drink to create an auspicious connection with the blessings lineage and all the buddhas and bodhisattvas across the billion-fold universe.
Everyone is invited to bring an offering of food and drink to share for the Tsok.
Please remember that whatever you bring should be kept sealed and not opened prior to the Tsok.
It is said on Chotrul Düchen the effects of positive and negative actions are multiplied ten million times!
Mark this special day by engaging in acts of compassion, kindness, joyfulness, serenity of mind, and practice.
