Lhabab Düchen is one of the four Buddhist festivals commemorating four events in the life of the Buddha, according to Tibetan traditions. Lhabab Düchen occurs on the 22nd day of the ninth lunar month according to Tibetan calendar and is widely celebrated in Tibet and Bhutan. Lhabab Duchen celebrates the Buddha’s return to earth after teaching the Dharma to his mother in the God Realm of the Thirty-Three.
This year we will celebrate this holy day with the recitation of:
- Praise to the Buddha
- Prayer of the Twelve Deeds
- Sutra for Remembering the Three Jewels
Please note that while Geshe Sonam will be present during this year’s online celebration but there will not be an accompanying transmission of the texts at this time.
Merit created on this day is multiplied 100 million times so it is a wonderful opportunity for us to practice online together.
Please register to attend on zoom.
Specific advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche for practices to do on merit multiplying days can be found on FPMT.org, including advice to recite the Sutra for Remembering the Three Jewels. If you choose to recite the Sutra of Golden Light on this special day, you might like to report your recitations using the facility on FPMT.org, which you can find on the Sutra of Golden Light reporting page.
On merit multiplying days, the FPMT Puja Fund sponsors a large number of pujas and practices offered by thousands of sangha on behalf of the entire FPMT. These prayers are dedicated to all FPMT centers, projects, and services; all students, volunteers, and those who offer service in FPMT; and to all beings in general.
