Are you ready for Lhabab Duchen?
We are fast approaching the auspicious merit-multiplying day of Lhabab Duchen which commemorates Buddha’s descent from God Realm of Thirty-three.
Lhabab Duchen, which is on November 15 this year, is one of the four great holy days of the Tibetan calendar. On this day, the karmic results are multiplied by 300 million times, as it commemorates Buddha’s descent from God Realm of Thirty-three
