Special Event
Please join us in celebrating Saka Dawa at ADC
June 8th 2025.
11:00AM-12:30PM
Saka Dawa is one of the four holy days when we celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death (Mahaparinirvana) of Buddha Shakyamuni. The Saka Dawa observations take place in the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar. This special Dharma occasion is regarded as a great opportunity to earn merit, purify, and attain Enlightenment. Any good deeds performed during the month of Saka Dawa are rewarded with one hundred million times greater good karma. These meritorious activities revolve around early teachings of te Buddh on sila (morality), dana (generosity) and bhavana (meditation). Therefore, Saka Dawa is an excellent time to dedicate yourself to taking spiritually positive actions. We rejoice in our potential to become fully awakened ourselves. On this very special day, ADC will perform the Buddha bathing offering and the Guru Puja.
