On the occasion of Saga Dawa Duchen, a holy day that commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death (parinirvana) of the Buddha, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo generously gifted each of her community of ordained nuns and monks with a new set of robes.
KPC’s resident Khenpo Tenzin Karze bestowed each set of robes on Jetsunma’s behalf and explained how the offering of clothing is auspicious for long life. He also gave a short teaching on the history and significance of Saga Dawa. To receive this gift from one’s root lama and on such a holy day is an immeasurable blessing.
