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.
Most holy of all is the full moon day of Saka Dawa, the 15th day of the month, which is the date most commonly associated with not only Buddha’s birth but also his enlightenment and parinirvana3.
In 2025, the 15th day of the month, also called Saka Dawa Duchen, will fall on June 11.
From now until then we’ll be collecting donations of nonperishable food items. These will be blessed that night & subsequently delivered to the ‘In Town Lunch Centre’.
Please place your donations in the ‘Saka Dawa’ box in the library area.
