Celebrate Saka Dawa!

You’re warmly invited to join us in spirit by celebrating Saka Dawa, one of the most sacred and powerful days in the Buddhist calendar. This auspicious occasion commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha—a day when the merit of our prayers and positive actions is said to be multiplied many millions of times.Although there will be no formal community practice at Maitripa College on this day, due to the completion of our Mahamudra retreat, we encourage you to mark this special day with your own personal practice. You might:

  • Engage in meditation or recite prayers
  • Dedicate your practice for the enlightenment of all beings
  • Make offerings on your altar or to others
  • Perform acts of generosity or kindness
  • Take and keep vows for the day

We also invite you to join us for our upcoming Nyung Nä retreat at Maitripa College, June 13–16, a traditional practice of purification and compassion around the practice of Chenrezig. Details coming soon.
