The Tibetan festival day of Chotrul Düchen – the full moon day that marks the end of the 15 Days of Miracles.
His Holiness usually gives a short teaching from the Jataka Tales in the morning at the Main Tibetan Temple. See His Holiness schedule here. As a precautionary measure for the covid-19 situation all engagements of His Holiness the Dalai Lama remain indefinitely postponed. Thank you for your understanding.

He will also confer the Ceremony for Generating Bodhichitta (semkye) at the request of Ladakh Semkye Tsokpa.
