For instance, the anniversary day of and important master in one particular lineage may not be celebrated in the other lineages. Aside from these differences, there are four major occasions that are celebrated and observed by all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism equally. These are known as the four major occasions or festivals. These are (1) the display of miraculous activities, (2) the birth, enlightenment, and death (or parinirvana) of the Buddha (collectively known as Saga Dawa), (3) the first turning of the wheel of dharma, (4) the descent from the Tushita heaven.
