Saga Dawa, known as the Month of Merits, celebrates the Buddha’s birth, Enlightenment, and passing into mahaparinirvana. Merit is multiplied during this fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar, and it is a particularly auspicious time to engage in generosity (dana), morality (sila), and meditation (bhavana).

Saga Dawa culminates in Saga Dawa Duchen on June 5.
