Our birth and death are like the entrance and exit of an actor on the stage.

Actors frequently change their costumes and their roles.

In the same way, living beings take different forms continually and enter new worlds.

CELEBRATING THE DAY OF BUDDHA'S RETURN FROM HEAVEN
Each year September 22 marks the celebration of Buddha’s return from heaven.

Traditionally this day also marks the end of the summer retreat. Every year, during the summer months, Buddha did a three-month retreat with his disciples. His reason was to avoid harming insects and other animals.

A SPECIAL DAY
One year during the summer retreat, Buddha transported himself to the Land of the Thirty-three Heavens to visit his mother, who had taken rebirth there after she died. Buddha deeply wanted to repay his mother’s kindness by teaching her Dharma.

This day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings.

Kadampa centers around the world organize special activities including courses, meditations and prayers on this day. Check with your local center if you would like to join in any of these activities.
