Authentic Buddhist Teachings with a Modern Perspective
Saka Dawa Duchen
May 31, 2026
Saka Dawa Duchen is one of the most sacred days in the Buddhist calendar. On this holy day, karmic results are multiplied by 300 million times as it commemorates Shakyamuni Buddha’s three major life events: his birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana.
This year, Saka Dawa Duchen is on May 31, and you can celebrate by following Lama Zopa Rinpoche's advice:
Take the eight Mahayana precepts
Recite the Sutra Remembering the Three Jewels
