Today is Buddha's Return from Heaven Day. Every year on September 22 we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there. This day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied ...to become millions of light offerings. On this day we should especially remember Buddha’s kindness. https://kadampa.org/2020/09/descent-from-heaven
