This core text distills the fundamental law of dependent origination and represents the quintessence of non-attachment of self and phenomena, expounding on the deeply profound other-emptiness (wylie: des sheg snying po).

About Losar
March 5 – 20 is a special time for practices in the Buddhist Calendar.
It commemorates the fifteen days when the Buddha performed miraculous display in order to subdue certain non-Buddhist opponents to his teachings. March 5 is Losar, Tibetan New Year. March 20 is the Day of Miracles, also called Day of Offerings or Day of Miracles. All fifteen days are merit multiplying days – the effects of any action are 100 million times more powerful than usual! It is an especially powerful time to do practices.
