15 Days of Miracles & Losar Celebrations
The Fifteen Days of Miracles – from the first day of the Tibetan New Year (Losar, 12th February) until the fifteenth (February 26th) – commemorate the special time when the Guru Shakyamuni Buddha showed miraculous powers in order to subdue the Six Founders, who lacked faith in him, and to inspire more faith in his followers. It culminates on the full moon, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which is called Chotrul Duchen.
