The Tibetan festival day of Chotrul Duchen – the full moon day that marks the end of the 15 Days of Miracles.
His Holiness will give a short teaching from the Jataka Tales followed by a teaching on Tsongkhapa’s In Praise of Dependent Origination (tendrel toepa) in the morning at the Main Tibetan Temple. See His schedule here. As a precautionary measure, in view of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, all engagements of His Holiness the Dalai Lama remain indefinitely postponed. Thank you for your understanding.
