Buddha Purnima
Buddha Purnima, also known as Vesak, is a significant festival in the Buddhist tradition, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death anniversary of Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha. Celebrated on the full moon day of Vaisakha (April or May), this day marks the pivotal moments in Buddha's life. He was born in Lumbini, attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, and passed away, reaching Parinirvana, on this day. Buddha Purnima is observed with deep reverence by Buddhists worldwide, who visit temples, offer prayers, meditate, and engage in acts of charity to honor his teachings of compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom. The day serves as a reminder to follow the path of peace and to strive for enlightenment, promoting harmony and understanding across the world.
