Feb 12
1st Day of the First Chinese Lunar Month, in the Year 4719
Happy Lunar New Year
Today in the Year of the Ox or 4719th year based on the Chinese lunar calendar, most Chinese Buddhists celebrate the Spring Festival or Chinese Lunar New Year by having prayers, offerings and blessings at Buddhist Temples.
Chinese New Year this year coincides with Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Shakyamuni Buddha performed 15 days of miracles during Losar in ancient Sravasti in response to a challenge from six tirthikas [non-Buddhist adepts] who were sceptical of the Buddha's abilities. That triumphant display culminated on the 15th day at the full moon. Through witnessing the Buddha's feats, many beings gained faith in the teachings and attained liberation.
These 15 days of miracles is a merit-multiplying period. The 15th day, which falls on 27 Feb 2021 this year, is Chotrul Duchen, Day of Miracles. According to the Vinaya text, "Treasure of Quotations and Logic", all virtues done throughout these special days are multiplied 100 million times. Some sutras further mention that the merit increases by one billion times.
Please join us in celebrating this very auspicious merit-multiplying period by taking part in the following events:
