Chötrul Düchen: Day of Miracles

Chötrul Düchen (Day of Miracles) marks the end of the 15-day festival of Monlam, a period of Dharma practice and joyous celebration of the Buddha’s power. It was in this period that the Buddha displayed his powers through a series of miracles, inspiring faith and spiritual attainment in his followers.

Join us as we celebrate Chötrul Düchen! Practices will include Confession to the 35 Buddhas, Shakyamuni Buddha Puja, Long Life Prayer for His Holiness and The Swift Return Prayer for Lama Zopa RInpoche.

You are welcome to request a dedication. Please email by March 2, 2026 to prayers@shantidevanyc.org and indicate “Chotrul Duchen Prayers” in the subject line. 

Today, just like any other day, is a perfect opportunity to engage more earnestly in one’s practice. May the Buddha Dharma flourish and spread forth to all sentient beings in the 10 directions!
