Drukpa Tshe-zi is observed on the fourth day (Tshe-zi) of the sixth month (Drukpa) in the Tibetan lunar calendar. It commemorates the day that Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths to his first five disciples in the Deer Park at Sarnath, over 2500 years ago, after achieving enlightenment.
