Sound of prayer wheels fills Gyirong streets as Tibetan Buddhists mark Saga Dawa

Buddhists in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region are celebrating the traditional Saga Dawa festival, which fell on May 15 this year and marks three pivotal events in the life of Buddha: his birth, enlightenment, and attaining Nirvana.
