Dharmapala Day

Post by drodul »

If one customarily does a dharma protector practice on the 29th day of the Tibetan month, what is the proper thing to do when there is no 29th day, as happens this month? Is there any greater benefit from doing the practice on the 28th or the 30th, or does it make no difference?

Every month has a 29'th day. It's just that sometimes two lunar days fall in one day.

This month's 29'th lunar day lasts until the evening of May 5'th Eastern Time.
