Today marks the first day of the “Saga Dawa” observed during the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar. The Saga Dawa called the “month of merits” is the month during which five important life events of Lord Buddha took place.

Therefore, this month is one of the most auspicious times for Buddhists. It is said that both positive and negative deeds during this month is multiplied 100,000 times.
