Chotrul Duchen is one of the four major Buddhist holidays. It occurs on the full moon (the fifteenth day) of the first Tibetan month. At the time of Buddha Shakyamuni, the leaders of India’s six main philosophical schools challenged him to a contest of miraculous powers. The Buddha displayed a different miracle each day for fifteen days and, utterly defeating his opponents, inspired many individuals to follow the Dharma.
On Chotrul Duchen, the effects of positive or negative actions are multiplied ten million times. It is traditional to engage in virtuous activities and prayer on this day.
