It is a holy month when we celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death (parinirvana) of the Buddha Shakyamuni1.
The merit of any good deeds that you perform during this month are thought to be multiplied many times over — by as many as one hundred million times2.
So Saka Dawa is an excellent time to dedicate yourself to taking spiritually positive actions.

followed by mani recitations &/or sutra reading/writing until 8.30 a.m.
shared precepts friendly lunch 11.15 a.m.
