We will commemorate this special day in-person at KSK with a Chenrezig puja, followed by a short tea break, then will continue with Aspiration Prayers. Feel free to come to all or any part of the practice sessions. Please bring any offerings you would like.

Lhabab Düchen is one of the four major Buddhist holy days of the year.

On this day, we celebrate the Buddha’s return to the human realm after spending three months in Tushita Heaven, the God Realm of Thirty-Three. He gave teachings to the gods and other beings in this realm, including his mother who had died a week after giving birth to the Buddha in order to repay her kindness and to liberate her from samsara.

As a merit multiplying day, the karmic results of actions done on this day are multiplied 100 million times. This amazing result is taught in the vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic.
