Chotrul Düchen, or "Festival of Miracles," is the first of the four
major holidays in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar, occurring on the
full moon of the first Tibetan month--March 19th this year. The
festival celebrates Lord Shakyamuni Buddha's display of different
miracles every day for 15 days in order to increase the devotion of
his disciples.
On Chotrul Düchen the effects of positive and negative actions are
multiplied ten million times. It's a good day to recite mantra and
engage in acts of compassion, kindness, and joy. Meditation
practice is especially powerful during this time.
