VESAK / SAGA DAWA
Celebrating the Buddha 
Saga Dawa is the celebration of the Buddha’s birthday, enlightenment and entering Nirvana. It is also known as Vesak in Sanskrit. We invite you to share this special day at Jampa Ling. Everyone is welcome. We celebrate with a Smoke Puja (traditional Tibetan purification ceremony) in the gardens and prayers in the Shrine Room with the gracious presence of Ven. Lama Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche.
Please bring vegetarian food to share – and your musical instruments if you would like to play! This is a FREE event.
