![Happy Saka Dawa Celebrations with Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche!](https://tushita.info/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/STR-Saka-Dawa-Duchen-2022.jpg)
Happy Saka Dawa to all of our dear friends from India & around the world!
Saka Dawa is the most important Tibetan Buddhist festival day – celebrating Shakyamuni Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and parinirvana!
We are so delighted and grateful to finally welcome you back in person for our special Saka Dawa program after 2 long years of lockdown!
If you cannot celebrate with us in person YET, we hope you can still join us online. All events will be hybrid.
The absolute highlight will be a teaching by the precious Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche on Meditating with Clarity and Intensity. We will also offer a Medicine Buddha Puja and Light Offerings on this auspicious occasion.
Remember: on Saka Dawa karmic results are multiplied by one hundred million times!!!
On this merit-multiplying day we 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 Saka Dawa is on June 13!)
Since May His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been blessing us again with many public in-person teachings, and we are pleased to host review sessions for the upcoming teaching / initiation in July.
Please join us for any of our upcoming residential courses and group retreats.
Many more will be added soon – stay tuned!
Seeking support for some essential center positions!

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.
