【 薩 嘎 達 瓦 節The Saga Dawa Festival】
今天是新曆6月17日藏曆4月15日，是藏曆『薩嘎達瓦月』最殊勝的一天。即紀念釋迦牟尼佛誕辰、成道、涅槃的日子。『薩嘎達瓦節』是個神聖的節日，與佛教創辦人釋迦牟尼佛一生中三件重要的大事聯繫在一起，即：誕生、成道、涅槃。
在西藏傳統中薩嘎達瓦節期間，各大小寺院均舉行佛事活動，以供信眾朝聖。從『薩嘎達瓦』的第一天開始，寺院就出現了成群結隊的轉經人流。到藏曆十五這天，轉經達到高峰後演變成為規模盛大的轉經儀式。
藏曆四月一整個月，信徒們轉經、行善佈施、不殺生不吃肉，專意朝佛供佛，有的還會閉齋修行，或是去轉經磕長頭。因為據佛經記載：「此日行一善事，有行萬善之功德。」 只要你念一句佛號或六字真言，因『薩嘎達瓦』加持力很大，功德會增長百萬倍。
如今『薩嘎達瓦』不僅是藏人非常重要的傳統，喜馬拉雅區域及各地藏傳佛教徒們亦非常重視這一節日，而慶祝的方式與意識形態也大同小異，沒有多大的差別。『薩嘎達瓦』早已全球化，受到所有地球上的佛弟子的重視。
因此，廣大佛教信徒應在今天，在此月進行持咒、佈施、供養、點燈、禮佛、懺悔、繞塔、放生等等善行，藉由三寶的加持力和自己的修持，廣大利益自他，祈願世界和平，迴向一切有情早證菩提！
The Saga Dawa Festival is celebrated in the fourth month in Tibetan calendar for a whole month and is one of the most significant festivals in Tibet.
The Saga Dawa Festival honors the life of Buddha. According to their tradition, when Buddha was dying, he instructed one of his followers not to honor him merely with flowers, incense and lights after he died but by striving to follow his teachings about living a noble life and being kind and compassionate. He urged people not to weep about his death but to remember that all compound objects like the human body must eventually disintegrate. In various Buddhist countries, people celebrate the holiday in different ways and on different days.
Therefore, the majority of Buddhist believers should perform good deeds, offerings, offerings, lighting, ritual Buddha, repentance, around the tower, release, etc., today, through the blessing of Three Jewels and their own practice, the vast majority of interests, prayed for peace in the world and returned to all the sentient beings to achieve enlightenment!
