English-Cho-Trul-Du-Chen ཆོས་འཕྲུལ་དུས་ཆེན། Festival of Miraculous Deeds of Buddha (Bodhicitta Day)

Chötrül Düchen is one of the four major annual Tibetan Buddhist festivals. It takes place during the first fifteen days of the first month of the Tibetan New Year (Losar) when Śākyamuni Buddha’s fifteen-day performance of miracles to inspire faith and devotion in followers is celebrated. The Festival celebrates the occurrence of miracles that the Buddha displayed in Sravasti, India when he was challenged by a group of proponents of non-Buddhist views. In order to restore and nourish a belief in the Buddhist teachings and to honor the allegiance of his Buddhist devotees, the Buddha performed 15 miracles over the period of 15 days. The event not only increased the merit and devotion of the Buddha’s disciples; it also attracted non-Buddhists to the teachings. The effects of positive and negative actions are thought to be multiplied 10 million times on this day. It is considered to be a very auspicious day to do spiritual practice, perform good deeds, go on pilgrimage, light butter lamps, sponsor prayers, and make offerings.
