In just 10 days, Buddhists worldwide observe Saka Dawa - the most significant day in Buddha's life. What makes this ancient observance relevant today? On this single day the 15th day of the 4 lunar month of the Tibetan calendar, we celebrate the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of the Buddha Shakyamuni. He lived approximately 2,600 years ago, but here's what matters for us: the mental training methods he discovered are now helping millions find greater resilience and peace in our chaotic modern world. Over the next week, we'll explore what Saka Dawa means and why these 2,500-year-old insights might be exactly what your stressed mind needs most." #SakaDawa #Buddhism #Mindfulness #Chattanooga #AncientWisdom (fb)
