It's Marvelous!
Miracles everywhere...
The first two weeks of the Tibetan calendar year is a time of marvels. Miracles, even. This is the time commemorating a time in the life of the Buddha Shakyamuni during which he displays his miraclous powers for the benefit of those whose spiritual development would be catalyzed by recognizing the full dimension of his awakening through their own witness.
There are so many opportunities to dive into the field of miracles of the Buddha next Tuesday, March 3, 2026, when we celebrate Chotrul Duchen, the Great Festival of Miracles, the culmination of a period during which the impact of our actions is magnified exponentially.
Homage to the Buddha Śākyamuni!
You I shall praise, who first awakened the mind of enlightenment,
Then completed the accumulations of merit and wisdom,
And now in this age, through the vast sway of your actions,
Have become the lord and protector of living beings.
PRAISE OF THE TWELVE DEEDS OF THE BUDDHA
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
8:00 to 9:00 AM
Via Zoom - OPEN TO EVERYONE
The Prajna Fire sangha gathers on each of the four duchen of the year for the chanting practice of the Praise of the Twelve Deeds of the Buddha, a deeply devotional practice centered on the Buddha and the grace he displays across his life on this planet. Its haunting melody is marvelous in its power to invoke wonder and mystery in our hearts, right where we sit. Additional practices ride the wave of merit generated to co-create conditions for enlightenment for all beings, without exception. A miracle indeed!
