Garab Dorje

Buddhist master

Garab Dorje was a nomad and said to be the first human to receive the complete direct transmission teachings of Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen. The circumstances of his birth are shrouded in different interpretations, with some accounts describing a miraculous birth by a virgin daughter of the king of Uddiyana.

Garab Dorje is read about 41 times a day, in 10 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 5 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
