July 18, 2026: Buddha’s First Teaching

Called Chokhor Düchen, this important day falls on the fourth day of the sixth lunar month. This day is the third “great occasion” or düchen in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar. It celebrates the first teaching by the historical Buddha, named Siddhartha at birth and commonly known as Shakyamuni Buddha.

On this day, over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths in Sarnath, shortly after attaining enlightenment in Bodh Gaya. This event is known as the “turning of the wheel of dharma”. In Theravada traditions, this event is remembered on Dhamma Day, also known as Asalha Puja, and is generally marked on the full moon of the eighth lunar month. To celebrate Chokhor Düchen, Tibetan Buddhists make pilgrimages to holy places, offer incense, and hang prayer flags.​​
Thank you to the Tibetan Nuns page!

Happy Saka Dawa to all our dharma friends and community. 🌕🙏

Tomorrow, May 31, marks the most sacred day of Saka Dawa in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition — commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. This powerful and auspicious time is dedicated to compassion, generosity, kindness, prayer, and reflection.

As this special day approaches, may we all take a moment to reflect on what truly matters and how we can bring more kindness and compassion into the world around us.

We also hope many of you will join us for our Vesak Day Celebration on June 6th from 8:00 - 4:00 at DNKL with the United Sangha Council.

May this Saka Dawa bring peace, merit, and benefit to all beings. ✨
