The 24th July is the Tibetan Buddhist festival day

The 24th July is the Tibetan Buddhist festival day of Chökhor Düchen which marks Shakyamuni Buddha’s First Teaching, when the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths in Sarnath, near Varanasi.
Also, it is the FPMT’s 18th International Sangha Day, a day in which we celebrate and rejoice with our ordained monks and nuns. International Sangha Day provides an opportunity for the lay and monastic communities to come together in recognition of their interdependence and acknowledge the ways in which they rely on each other for the practice kindness and compassion.

“Wherever you go you will take the light of the Dharma with you” (Lama Yeshe, Advice for Monks and Nuns)

Saka Dawa is one of the four great holy days of the Tibetan calendar commemorating Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment and parinirvana. At Karuna we celebrated with a morning meditation, sutra reading and prayers for the whole world. We even had a Buddha birthday cake!

Charles’ mum, Loody Stewart, says Karuna empower

Charles’ mum, Loody Stewart, says Karuna empowered her son to not just survive the last six months of his life but to truly live, with his mates, his faithful dog and family by his side. Friends were able to flow in and out of the house, some staying for hours, others for days. “Having Charles at home meant we could walk this journey with family and friends - Sunday roasts, long lunches, his dog at his bedside, praying, playing guitar and sharing funny stories. It was a beautiful journey and we could only have had that with Karuna.,” says Loody.
Many people wish to die at home, but few have the opportunity to do so. Charles was able to enjoy the comforts of home while receiving specialist Palliative care with Karuna. #palliativecareweek2020 #itsmorethanyouthink #trulylive #empower
