The Month of Sakadava
June 9, 2017 is April 15th in Tibetan Calendar. It was the day Buddha Shakyamuni was born, became enlightened, and went to parinirvana. The whole month with name Sakadava is filled with special positive energy and great blessing. Below is the Ten Acts of Buddha composed by Nagajuna.
GREAT PRAISE OF THE TEN ACTS OF THE BUDDHA by Ārya Nāgārjuna
With skilful means and compassion, you were born in the Śākya clan, Unconquerable by others, you vanquished Māra's hordes, Your physical form resplendent, like a mountain of gold. To you, the King of the Śākyas, I pay homage!
You I shall praise, who first awakened the mind of enlightenment, then completed the accumulations of merit and wisdom, and now in this age, through the vast sway of your actions, have become the lord and protector of living beings
Homage to you that, having taught the gods, knew the time had come to tame the human world, and Descending from the god realm like a great elephant, foresaw the family of your birth and entered the womb of Māyādevī.
Homage to you, prince of the Śākyas, born after ten months In the auspicious Lumbinī grove, where Brahmā and Indra revered you, your supreme marks proving you were destined to be enlightened.
Homage to you, lion among men, in all your youthful vigour, displaying your prowess in the games at Anga Magadha, Where you triumphed over the proud contestants, so that not one could stand as your rival.
Homage to you, who, to comply with worldly convention, And avoid all misdeeds, took on a queen and courtiers And by acting with such skilful means, So you ruled the kingdom.
Homage to you, who saw that saṃsāra is wholly futile, Renounced the life of a householder, And, travelling through the sky, Ordained yourself before the Viśuddha Stūpa.
Homage to you, who, intent on persevering till enlightened, for six years practised austerities on the banks of the Nairañjanā, and taking diligence to its ultimate perfection, attained the supreme samādhi.
Homage to you, who, seeking to make meaningful, all your efforts, made throughout beginningless time, sat unmoving in the vajra posture beneath the bodhi-tree in Magadha and awakened into true buddhahood, attaining perfect enlightenment.

Homage to you, who, in your compassion, gazed at once upon living beings, then Turned the wheel of Dharma in sacred places like Varānasī, and established disciples in the three vehicles.
Homage to you that destroyed evil-minded opponents, by defeating the six teachers of the tīrthikas, Devadatta and the rest, as well as the maras in Varānasī;1 You were the mighty sage, victorious in battle.
Homage to you, who performed great miracles in Śravastī, unmatched in their splendour in all the three realms, and through the offerings made by gods, humans and other beings, caused the teachings to prosper and increase.
Homage to you, who, to spur the lazy on to the Dharma, left your body, though immortal and like a vajra, and passed into parinirvāṇa in the pure abode of Kuśinagara.
Homage to you, who, to show that you had not in reality perished, and so that beings of the future could gain merit, Emanated a wealth of relics, and caused Your remains to be divided into eight portions.
OM MUNE MUNE MAHA MUNE YE SOHA.(x108)
