Sagadawa Kagyur and Tengyuer Reciting ས་ག་ཟླ་བ། རྒྱལ་བའི་བཀའ་འགྱུར་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་དང་བསྟན་འགྱུར་དག་སྒྲོགས།

Buddhists, especially Tibetan Buddhists, will celebrate the most auspicious and significant time of a year, the Sagadawa Festival. This is a celebration in honor of the Sakyamuni Buddha, whose birth, enlightenment, and nirvana all took place in the same month.

Tibetan Buddhists believe that the good deeds and prayers are multiplied a thousand-folds during this period. People are much more merciful than usual. There is an abstinence of killing animals and those captured ones are released into their natural habitats along with deep prayers. This ceremony liberates them from captivity and shows the ultimate act of mercy.

Along with the celebration of this wonderful festival, The Kagyur is performed.

Kagyur is referred to the Translations of Buddha’s Own Teachings. They are the translated volumes of all three baskets and four classes of Tantra taught by the Buddha himself compiled into 104 or 108 volumes.
