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 honor him. He descended to earth in Sankisa, which is located in modern Uttar Pradesh, and which is counted among the eight holy places.

JOIN GESHE TENZIN ZOPA AT CTCT ONLINE to celebrate the auspicious occasion of LHA BAB DUCHEN
Once again CTCT has the immense fortune to welcome our beloved teacher Geshe Tenzin Zopa to host another important date in the Buddhist Calendar with us - ensuring we utilize this date effectively when all merit, and positive potentials (of actions of our body speech, and mind) are said to multiply immeasurably!
It is especially heartwarming to close our 2024 Program with Geshe Zopa and we hope you will all join us as Geshe-la guides us in ways to integrate thankfulness and gratitude in our daily lives during turbulent times - especially as they are, right this moment around the world, assisting us to find ways to translate into positive activities and not feelings or thoughts of negativities which can so easily overwhelm us.
