The Fifteen Days of miracles commemorate the special time when Guru Shakyamuni Buddha showed miraculous powers in order to subdue six tirthikas, or non-Buddhist teachers, who lacked faith in him, and to inspire more faith in his followers. It begins on Losar on 18th February and culminates on the 3rd of March this year, which is the Chotrul Duchen (The Day of Miracles).

All fifteen days are merit multiplying days, when the merit of virtuous actions performed on each of these days is multiplied by 100 million, according to the Vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic.

Losar is a very special time for the FPMT organization as it commemorates the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s parinirvana at dawn of Losar in 1984 Lama Yeshe passed away. Fulfilling our Gurus wishes: Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised to offer extensive Lama Choepa with tsog on this special day.

Please join us in rejoicing in all the meritorious activities happening within the FPMT organization and around the world on this auspicious merit-multiplying period! Losar is an excellent time to make offerings to FPMT puja fund, which arranges vast offerings and prayers at this auspicious time for the Sangha as well as other projects in accordance with Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s wishes. Please see the FPMT puja fund webpage for more details on donations and how the fund is used.

As Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised we will offer Lama Choepa and tsog (vegetarian food, fruit, drinks, cakes) as well as recite Sutra Remembering the Three Jewels, the Swift Return Prayer for Lama Zopa Rinpoche,

Open to everyone, no empowerments needed.

Please arrive early and bring flowers, incense, vegetarian food and drink as offerings for the altar.
