THE FIFTEEN DAYS OF MIRACLES: LOSAR TO CHOTRUL DÜCHEN |
|
 |
The Fifteen Days of Miracles -- from the first day of the Tibetan new year, Losar, until the fifteenth, known as Chotrul Düchen -- commemorates the special time when Guru Shakyamuni Buddha showed miraculous powers to inspire faith in his followers.
This year, Losar is on Wednesday, February 18 and Chotrul Düchen falls on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. |
|
Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised us that the Fifteen Days of Miracles is an especially auspicious time to do spiritual practice because, as Buddha Holy Days, our merit multiplies exponentially. For FPMT centers like Kadampa Center, Losar is a particularly special time as it memorializes the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s passing (parinirvana) at dawn of Losar in 1984.
