The first month of the Tibetan calendar is known as "the multiplying of the blessings month." During the life of Shakyamuni, many people asked him to perform miracles to prove his enlightenment. He ignored their requests and moved from town to town giving teachings. Finally, when he taught in Shravasti, the people beseeched the King to order Shakyamuni to hold a contest of spiritual or miraculous feats to prove his greatness. The Buddha agreed and as it so happened the first day he began these demonstrations was the first day of Losar till the last day, which falls on the full moon.
This auspicious period is also known as Chotrul Duchen. Whatever good deeds or negative actions one performs or merits one accumulates during this period, those actions will be multiplied by 100,000 times. Still not too late to do our sums..we all have till tonight...;o)
