5月26，法王噶瑪巴出席一場於達蘭沙拉大乘法林寺啟建的觀音法會，通過儀軌修持，製成殊勝加持法藥。在佛教聖月－釋迦月（藏曆四月）舉行年度慶典，呈現佛陀一生最重要的三個事蹟（出生、成道及涅槃），藏傳佛教信眾們相信在釋迦月中所做的一切善行及惡行其結果都會倍增。

尊者達賴喇嘛亦親臨主持法會。

Marking the beginning of the sacred Buddhist month of Saka Dawa, at Tsuglag-Khang in Dharamsala, His Holiness Karmapa attended a ritual Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) prayer session. Blessing pills were prepared during the ritual. The annual Saka Dawa festival pays homage to the three most important events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni: his birth, enlightenment and parinirvana. Tibetan Buddhists believe that during Saka Dawa, the fourth month of the Tibetan Lunar calendar, the karmic results of virtuous and non-virtuous actions are magnified.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama presided over the prayer session at Tsuglag-Khang.
