The fifteen days the
Buddha performed miracles

Chotrul Düchen commemorates the fifteen days during which the Buddha performed miraculous feats to establish confidence in the Dharma — answering challenges from six rival teachers with acts that confounded ordinary understanding.

In Tibetan Buddhism this is one of the four great merit-multiplying days of the year. The positive effects of any practice — meditation, dream yoga, generosity, prayer — are said to be magnified enormously, making it one of the most powerful windows for spiritual deepening.
