Day of Miracles 1 mars,2018

"Merit created on this day is multiplied  100 million times!  The Day of Miracles is one of the four holy days in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar. It celebrates the time when a group of matted-hair ascetics challenged the Buddha to a contest of miracle powers at Sravasti.   Although the Buddha did not want to show his miraculous powers, as this was the only way to subdue these ascetics and help them to develop faith in the Buddhadharma, he performed magnificent miracles each day for 15 days, outshining all opponents.     As a result, the ascetics as well as a huge assembly of devas and humans adopted the Buddhist doctrine, practiced it, and gained spiritual attainments. Subsequent generations continue to be inspired by the Buddha's demonstration of his extraordinary qualities. Ways to Make Merit on the Day of Miracles: *Take and keep the Eight Mahayana Precepts for 24 hours.  *Do the Shakyamuni Buddha meditation, either guiding yourself or listening to a meditation led by Ven. Chodron. Both are here.  *Make offerings to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Ven. Chodron teaches how to think about and do this practice here.  *Study and reflect on the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha by watching some of the video teachings from the Refuge playlist.  *Think about how the Dharma works in your life, rejoice in your fortune, and dedicate the merit for your own awakening and for all sentient beings!" Ven Thubten Chodron. For more info: www.sravasti.org

"Happy Chotrul Duchen, the Day of Miracles! Today we celebrate the end of the Great Prayer Festival (Monlam Chenmo), the festival of practice and meritorious activities that follows Losar, the Tibetan New Year, for 15 days. Lama Tsongkhapa chose the Monlam Chenmo to coincide with the anniversary of incredible events in Shakyamuni Buddha's life traditionally celebrated during the first two weeks of the lunar new year. This year, the fifteenth day, the Day of Miracles, falls on March 1st.* As cited by Lama Zopa Rinpoche from the Vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic, the karmic power of all actions done on the anniversary of these events is multiplied by one hundred million! We rejoice in the activities of all those whose practice and work enables the Dharma to flourish and grow. We invite you to take advantage of this meritorious day by making your donation and partner with us in bringing the precious teachings of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche to the world." http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?m=1101427053440&ca=48a4a793-3e28-4196-a447-7bd13a8c95a6
