🌕 Saga Dawa — The Month of Merits
Saga Dawa is the most sacred month in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar, running this year from 17 May to 15 June 2026. It culminates on the full moon day of 31 May, known as Saga Dawa Düchen — the holiest day of the year for Tibetan Buddhists. This year, it coincides with Vesak Day.
This sacred month commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha.
✨ Why is this month so special?
It is known as the "month of merits" — every act of goodness, however small, is magnified during this time. A beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and do a little more good in the world. 🙏
May this Saga Dawa be filled with virtue, compassion, and joy. 🌸🙏
