Lha Bab Duchen " The festival of the Descent from Heaven. On this day the Lord Buddha descended from the heaven of thirty three gods on three golden gem decked ladders to the human realm. This day is considered to be very important because it is believed that any unctuous actions or negative actions performed are ten millions times greater on this particular day of the year."
