The two-week observance of “The Waxing Moon of Miracles,” which begins with Losar (the day after the New Moon), concludes with Chotrul Duchen (the Great Occasion of the Buddha’s Miracles) on Monday March 9 – the Full Moon in the First Month of the Lunar Year. Virtuous acts done during this time are multiplied many thousand-fold because of its connection with events in the life of the historical Buddha. At KTC, we will celebrate Chotrul Duchen with a morning session of prayer.
It is said that the positive effects of dharma practice on the Great Occasions are multiplied many hundreds of times, so this is an ideal time to be with your Dharma family for practice.
The session starts at 8 with a recitation of the Praise to the 12 Deeds of the Buddha, and continues with a recitation of the sadhana (chant practice) of the compassion bodhisattva Chenrezig. Additionally, anyone who wants to come to the shrine room and do their own practice is welcome.
