Four saturdays in the year

The Tibetan Buddhist calendar has four main days in the year. These commemorate events in the life of the Buddha. It is said that the merit from dharma practice done on these days is multiplied many millions of times.

At Dechen London we recite the praise of the Twelve Deeds of Lord Buddha and perform the ritual practice of the Sixteen Arhats to celebrate these events on the nearest Saturday in the calendar. Anyone is welcome to sit in on Buddha days, even if you have not taken refuge.
