I believe that I have created some special karma with this monastery that has taken my energy, time, consideration, and wealth. Although this has required everything of me, as long as the Sangha is taking steps on the pure path, I think the appearance of my life is useful and meaningful for both me and the monastery.

Dear Dharma Friends,
🌻🌻🌻November 22, 24 (TL 22) is a great auspicious day for LHA BAB DÜCHEN, merit increases ten million times.
🌻🌻🌻Lha Bab Düchen (Tib. ལྷ་བབས་དུས་ཆེན་, Wyl. lha babs dus chen), the 'Festival of the Descent from Heaven' — one of the four major Buddhist holidays. It occurs on the 22nd day of the ninth Tibetan month. Buddha’s mother Mayadeviwas reborn in Indra’s heaven. To repay her kindness and to liberate her, and also to benefit the gods, Buddha spent three months teachings in the realm of the gods. When he was about to return to this world, Indra and Brahma manifested three stairs of 80,000 yojanas each reaching this world in Sankisa. As the Buddha walked down the central one, they accompanied him to his left and right carrying umbrellas to honour him. He descended to earth in Sankisa, which is located in modern Uttar Pradesh, and which is counted among the eight holy places. (source: rigpawiki).
