Visakha Bucha Day
Visakha Bucha or simply "Vesak" is a holiday celebrating the birth, life, enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. It is celebrated in many Asian countries including India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, etc.
Visakha Bucha Day is one of the most important days in Buddhism because of three important incidents in the life of The Buddha, i.e. the birth, the enlightenment and the passing away, miraculously fall on the same month and date, the Vesak full moon day. .So each year, Buddhists throughout the world gather together to perform the worship to recollect the wisdom, purity and compassion of the Buddha.
