Saka Dawa (Buddha Day) Address and Teaching
Saka Dawa, celebrated on the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar, is the most sacred day in Tibetan Buddhism. It marks the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana (death) of Shakyamuni Buddha. This auspicious occasion is a time for Buddhists to focus on merit-making activities, prayer, and reflection on the Buddha's teachings.
Venerable Tenzin Tarpa is the founder and director of SBT – The Secular Buddhist Tradition. A fully ordained Buddhist monk and student of The Dalai Lama, Venerable Tarpa is a teacher, author, and philosopher with nearly three decades in Buddhist studies, including a decade in Buddhist monasteries in India.
SBT – the Secular Buddhist Tradition, is an international spiritual community dedicated to Secular Buddhism and the timeless wisdom of the Buddha. SBT presents the Buddha’s teachings as neither a religion nor exotic belief system, sharing a practical presentation focused on the positive life-affirming message of the Buddha, while emphasizing and prioritizing those aspects that we deem most credible, illuminating, and effective. The aim of SBT is to inform and guide without sharing presumptions of what to believe.
