SAGA DAWA – PRAYERS FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE
May 23, 2024 @ 8:00 pm – 11:59 pm
Guided by: KHENPO TASHI SANGPO
Date: THURSDAY 23.5.2024
Time: 20.00 – 24.00
Place: Thupten Changchup Ling, Arosio/CH & ZOOM
SAGA DAWA DÜCHEN is one of the four major Buddhist feasts. It celebrates Buddha Shakyamuni’s enlightenment and Parinirvana. It is one of the most powerful days of the year and being together to practise and recite the special prayers generates boundless merit, which we will dedicate in particular to universal peace and the benefit of all sentient beings.
You are all welcome to participate so that together we can make our indirect contribution to pacifying the difficulties the world is facing. You may certainly also participate in just one part of the evening.
The prayers recited can be downloaded HERE .
On his enlightenment at the age of thirty-five in Bodhgaya, the Buddha proclaimed:
“Profound peace, natural simplicity, uncompounded luminosity, I have found a nectar-like Dharma.”
When Buddha lay dying in a forest grove in Kushinagara, surrounded by five hundred of his disciples, he said to them with his last breath:
“It is in the nature of all things that take form to dissolve again. Strive with your whole being to attain perfection.”
