Why this is a special day
We all deeply rejoice at the recent news of the completion, blessing and inauguration of the 1000 Buddha temple. Rinpoche 's activities are astounding! Here at Gomde UK, we are eager to join in the celebrations on this special day and invite you to join us for a day of Resounding the Dharma on the 23rd May. 23rd May is Vesak in the Buddhist calendar.As Rinpoche shared in his recent announcement “Vesak marks the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of the Buddha. In Nepal, this precious day is known as Buddha Jayanti. This year, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche will honor this auspicious day in Lumbini at Pal Thubten Shedrub Ling monastery (affectionately known as the Thousand Buddha Temple), with the installation and consecration of one thousand 19-inch golden Buddha statues.”
“Even if you are unable to be in Lumbini on these auspicious days, please rejoice form the depths of your heart, wherever you are. In this way, you will share in the boundless and unceasing merit of these inauguration events.”
