The
holiest of Saka Dawa is the full moon day, the 15th day of the month
which is associated with Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and parinirvana. This year
it fell on 17th June. Unlike last year this year the cultural
committee of the school organized the Kagyur and Tengyur procession around Dzongsar
Monastery. On this sacred day the students of class 7 to 10 carried the holy
Kagyur scriptures on their shoulders and started the sacred procession from the
school gate to Dzongsar Monastery chanting “Jangchup Semchok Rinpoche” They
circumambulated the monastery with the holy scriptures. It was a holy march and
everyone felt blessed.
