Tashi Delek Friends, Supporters, and Sangha,

Sunday, May 31st, is Saga Dawa Düchen (in Tibetan, ས་ག་ཟླ་བ་དུས་ཆེན་), the "Festival of Vaishakha," one of the four major Buddhist holidays. It falls on the full moon (the 15th day) of the fourth Tibetan lunar month. It commemorates the enlightenment, birth, and parinirvana of the Lord Buddha Shakyamuni. At age thirty-five, he attained enlightenment at Bodhgaya. This day also marks the anniversary of his parinirvana at Kushinagara.

On this most holy day, the effects of positive and negative actions multiply ten million times.

Join resident teacher Lhoppön Rechungpa Rinpoche and the Mipham Shedra Sangha this Sunday morning from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm (Mountain Time). Rinpoche will offer teachings and lead us in performing Shakyamuni puja for the benefit of all sentient beings.
In-person attendees are invited to bring flowers or fruit for the shrine (potted flowers that can be replanted would be especially appreciated).
Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in and find your seat.

Distance students and others unable to attend in person are welcome to join via Zoom. Please email [email protected] to receive the Zoom link.

*Please note that this Sunday's puja and teachings will not be available through the usual Sunday Morning Teachings and Meditation class Zoom link. Instead, request the Zoom link to attend online.

On this special day, we send you our warmest and most heartfelt wishes, with deep gratitude and appreciation.
Thank you for all that you do for our sangha through your kindness, devotion, care, and steadfast support. Your dedication and support are a vital source of strength for both Rinpoche and our sangha.

As a dedicated mother of three and a motherly presence for the Mipham Shedra Sangha, your love and commitment touch so many lives. We are deeply grateful to you! Your constant support and devotion are a great strength and backbone for Rinpoche, enabling him to fully dedicate himself to the sangha and to spreading the Dharma.
Your care and dedication are also beautifully reflected in your children. Yumka and Gesar achieved excellent grades thanks to your loving guidance and the wholehearted support you give to their education and growth. You are always 100% behind your children and their work, and it is truly inspiring!

Today at Mipham Shedra, we were not only planting flowers and vegetables into the earth — we were also planting seeds of mindfulness, compassion, harmony, and future generations of community.
In a world that moves so fast, gardening reminds us to slow down, breathe, touch the earth, and reconnect with one another. Children learn patience and kindness. Families share laughter and meaningful moments together. Friends gather not only to work, but to create beauty, peace, and connection.
Mipham Shedra is not only a Buddhist meditation center. It is also a living community space — a place where we can raise our children with love, mindfulness, and respect for nature and each other, and where spiritual practice and everyday life come together naturally.

We warmly welcome our Sangha members, friends, families, and anyone who wishes to join us in future community gardening days and activities. Together, we can continue building a peaceful and compassionate environment for all beings.

With gratitude
