SADHANA: The Source of All Attainments: The Yoga of the Inseparability of the Guru and Avalokiteshvara
Lhabab Duchen celebrates Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s return to the Earth from the God-Realm of the Thirty-Three after teaching the Dharma for several months to the Gods, including his mother, Mayadevi, who died a week after Buddha’s birth and had been reborn in this realm. Due to Lhabab Duchen being a merit-multiplying day, the karmic results of any actions done on this day are multiplied 100 million times.
ABOUT THE GLOBAL FPMT MANI RETREAT
The 2026 Global Mani Retreat commenced on the first day of Saka Dawa month (Sunday, May 17, 2026), and concludes on the final Buddha Day for this year, Lhabab Düchen (Sunday, November 1, 2026). By practicing together in harmony, we aspire to make meaningful use of this precious human life and dedicate our efforts to the happiness of all beings and the long life of our teachers.
Only those Mani mantras recited within the practice of the sadhana are to be included in our count here:
