Gomo Tulku and the I Saved A Life team would like to wish everyone, our followers and our Family of Compassionate Givers, a Merry Saka Dawa!
Â
Saka Dawa (Vesak) is one of the four most important holy days in the Buddhist calendar, and it is said that karmic results are multiplied by 100 million times.
Â
On this day we remember Buddha Shakyamuni’s birthday, enlightenment, and parinirvana and rejoice in his extraordinary, compassionate deeds to help all beings. Inspired by his example, and in our capacity, here are some of the diverse projects that ISAL, with your support, has accomplished over the past year and that you can rejoice in:
