Chökhor Düchen Teachings with Jhado Rinpoche

July 2021

Tushita wishes you a very happy Chökhor Düchen!

The Tibetan Buddhist festival day of Chökhor Düchen marks the anniversary of Shakyamuni Buddha’s First Teaching of the Four Noble Truths in Sarnath, near Varanasi.

To celebrate this auspicious occasion we warmly welcome you to join us for an all day program and a very special event!

Jhado Rinpoche most kindly accepted to give a 5-day online teaching on the 12 Links of Dependent Arising with Q&A. Interpretations into several languages will be available.

Don’t miss this very unique and rare opportunity to receive teachings from a great Tibetan master right in your home!

We also present you & your loved ones with the unique opportunity to offer a butter lamp with your special dedication in this holy place! (The deadline to have a butterlamp offered on Chökhor Düchen is July 13th!)

Remember: on this wheel turning day the results of any virtuous activities are increased one hundred million times!!!

More amazing courses coming up soon…

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
