Dec 26 2018 – Manila | For the upcoming year, a few of our diligent members resolved to keep mindful of the Buddha’s activities, amidst their busy and hectic lifestyles. So, a few of them thought of putting together a phone calendar of the Buddha’s special dates.
They gathered information to put the special dates of the Buddhist, Nyingma and Palyul traditions into a downloadable calendar for Android and iPhone, for the year 2019. This calendar starts on February 5, 2019 (Lunar New Year) and ends on February 24, 2020 (Tibetan New Year).
USABLE FOR ANDROID OR APPLE SYSTEM
This calendar is in the (.ics) file, so it can be exported to any smartphones or tablets and added into our 2019 smartphone or tablet calendar. Then, after adding, we can turn on notification in our phones for the special dates and events that we would like to be reminded about.
