Great Prayer Festival - Monlam Chenmo - 2025

THE GREAT PRAYER FESTIVAL February 28 - March 14, 2025 The Great Prayer Festival, also known as the Fifteen Days of Miracles or Monlam Chenmo in Tibetan, begins on Losar (the Tibetan New Year) and ends on what is known as the Day of Miracles, or Chotrul Düchen in Tibetan. Join us for Kadampa Center's annual Losar event on Sunday, March 2, from 10am-noon.

During these fifteen days, the karmic results of all our actions - both positive and negative - are multiplied millions of times (as cited by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, from the Vinaya text Treasures of Quotations and Logic).  Therefore, the Great Prayer Festival is an incredibly auspicious time to make a conscientious effort to do Dharma practice or any positive action, such as smiling at others, extending patience and kindness to others, making financial offerings, etc.

Students can find Lama Zopa Rinpoche's collection of advice for merit multiplying days, including the Fifteen Days of Miracles, on the FPMT website HERE.
