The Tibetan calendar is a conclusion calculated based on the astrological laws and astronomical calendar algorithms mentioned in the Tantra "Kalachakra".Facts over the past thousands of years have proved that whether it is the solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, or the determination of the new and dark lunar day of the Tibetan calendar, the accuracy is higher than the results obtained by other calendar calculation methods to varying degrees.If you want to practice various good deeds on a special day, it is best to implement them according to the Tibetan tradition.
The scriptures record: practicing good deeds on ordinary and extraordinary days also has great merits, especially in the four major festivals, such as chanting mantras, doing good deeds, prostration, offering offerings, offerings to monks, keeping precepts, practicing compassion and bodhicitta, the merits will increase by billions of times.In other words, just recite the mantra once, you can get the merit of reciting it billions of times, and all other good deeds can be likewise.
Therefore, please do not miss these great opportunities.It is very important to be able to eat vegetarian food, abstain from killing, release animals, etc. in these festivals as much as you can.
