LHA BAB DÜCHEN 11.11.25

Tashi Delek!

❤️❤️❤️ November 11, 2025 (22nd day of the 9th Tibetan month) marks Lhabab Düchen, the Great Auspicious Day on which the effects of all virtuous and unvirtuous actions are multiplied 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 Mayadevi was reborn in Indra’s heaven. To repay her kindness and to liberate her, and also to benefit the gods, Buddha spent three months teaching 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.

 On this sacred day, according to the Tibetan tradition, the results of wholesome and unwholesome deeds are magnified ten millionfold. Therefore, practitioners are encouraged to increase virtuous activities—engaging in prayers, meditation, generosity, keeping vows, and other wholesome deeds with mindfulness and diligence. ❤️❤️❤️

We are pleased to share this information so that all Dharma friends may join together in accumulating boundless merit throughout this sacred month and on this great auspicious day.  ❤️❤️❤️

May the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions bless and protect all beings. 🙏 🙏 🙏 😇 😇 😇 💕💕💕
