When ANI CHOYING DROLMA sings, her voice sounds like an echo from the deepest part of a soul.

She developed a sincere desire to contribute whatever capacities she has to benefit sentient beings as much as possible and to promote the advancement of nuns.

She has become a well-known name in the international world music scene. She toured in America and Europe and successfully presented Himalayan Buddhist mantra, ritual chanting and Nepali music to the world. Till to date, she has launched 16 albums nationally and internationally, and performed for hundreds of reputed music festivals and private exclusive concerts around the world. It is said that Ani Choying Drolma’s music is like a beam of light that cut through the darkness and is filled with compassion and purity. Her voice is also named as “the heavenly voice” with healing power.

October 2023

DATE VENUE ACTIVITIES

Oct 29 Full Moon in October Abhidhamma Day
The Festival of Lights

The Full Moon Day of Thadingyut (October) is

of special significance to the Buddhists, not because it

is the end of the Rains Retreat (Vassa ) but because it

highlights one of the most important events in the life

of Gotama Buddha.

According to Buddhist chronicles, the Tathagata

or Buddha, the Enlightened One, went to the Tavatimsa

Heaven to preach Abhidhamma (Higher Subtleties of

the Dhamma) to His mother, who passed away seven

days after His birth and was reborn in the Tusita Heaven

as a Deva called Santussita.

The Buddha propounded Abhidhamma for the

first time there in the presence of Santussita and other

Devas for 90 days. At the end of the Rains Retreat

(Vassa) i.e. on the Full Moon Day of Thadingyut, the

Tathagata descended to earth (to the human abode) at

the city of Sankassa.

Now Buddhists observe Abhidhamma Day annually

in commemoration of the Buddha’s return from

the abode of celestials to that of human beings. It is a

significant religious occasion as the Abhidhamma is

really the golden knowledge which will help one to discard

wrong views and to acquire the right views for

one’s total liberation from all miseries. Buddhists offer

lights to the Buddha image and perform meritorious

deeds on this day in accordance with the tradition which

has been upheld since the life time of the Buddha.

The Festival of Lights in the month of

Thadingyut (October) may seem an occasion for

rejoicing and merry-making but in essence, it is an

auspicious occasion for spiritual delight and merit

making.
