Dear Sangha,
We are pleased to let everyone know about the practices and teachings at Nyingma Palyul Dharma Center during the sacred lunar month of Saga Dawa, which is May 28 – June 25 on the western calendar. This month commemorates Buddha Shakyamuni’s birth, enlightenment, and passing into mahaparinirvana, and is so auspicious that the effects of actions during this time, both positive and negative, are multiplied many millions of times. To take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate merit and purify negativities, the center has organized the following events.
