The 22th day of the 9th month on the Tibetan calendar is celebrated as the day Buddha descent from Tushita heaven.
Buddha’s mother, Maya Deva, died seven days after Buddha’s birth and was reborn in Indra’s heaven. To repay her kindness, Buddha ascended to heaven and taught the Abhidhamma (higher Doctrine) to the divine congregation, including his mother, for three months. After which, he descended back to earth.
This is an auspicious merit-multiplying day where positive or negative actions will be multiplied 100 million times.
Maha Tare Buddhist Centre will be conducting the Medicine Buddha Puja to celebrate this special day.
Medicine Buddha Puja will be led by Geshe Konchok Lama.
