Pa lp u n g P h e n d e K u n k yab Nyingne for Saga Dawa Duchen 佛陀誕辰、涅槃以及成道吉祥日一天閉關課程 June 3rd, 2012 二零一二年六月三日 The fourth month of the Tibetan calendar is the Sanga Dawa. The seventh day of Saga Dawa is the date of the historical Buddha’s birthday for Tibetans. However, the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and the entry into Nirvana at his death are observed on the 15th day of Saga Dawa, called the Saga Dawa Duchen. Saga is “million”; Dawa is “moon”; Duchen means “great time”. Thus, Saga Dawa is the million multiplier month. And for each day in this month, our activities (both good and bad) are multiplied one million times. Therefore, this is a very good month and an auspicious day for everyone to practice. 根據藏傳佛教傳統，藏曆四月稱作『薩嘎達瓦節』吉祥月（意譯為『 吉祥氏宿月』），是一年中神聖吉祥月份之一。藏曆四月吉祥月適逢 三個佛陀重大的事件：佛陀誕辰、涅槃以及成道。在此神聖吉祥月份 修法祈請、念咒誦經以及所有善行皆增千倍功德，因而很多信眾在這 個月都特別注重修持及培植福德。
