Buddhist Holidays and Celebrations

We celebrate the most important Tibetan holidays, which are based on the lunar calendar, with a puja and food offerings. On some occasions, we meet at the stupa in the Volksgarten for prayers and a celebration.

Wed, 11th June, 2025: Puja for Saga Dawa at the stupa in the Volksgarten
Saga Dawa is the most important Buddhist holiday, celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and death of the historic Buddha, Shakyamuni. This holiday known in many traditions as Vesakh , is called Saga Dawa in Tibetan culture and is celebrated according to the Tibetan lunar calendar, usually one month after Vesakh. We meet for a Puja of Prajnaparamita 17.30 – 18.30 at the Stupa in Volksgarten park in Graz..
