Day of Vesak



My dearest and adorable friends

Today we celebrate the Day of Vesak…A day I also was not aware that there was a day named like that!!!!!

"Vesak", the Day of the Full Moon in the month of May, is the most sacred day to millions of Buddhists around the world.

It was on the Day of Vesak two and a half millennia ago, in the year 623 B.C., that Buddha was born.

It was also on the Day of Vesak that the Buddha attained enlightenment, and it was on the Day of Vesak that Buddha in his eightieth year passed away.

The UN General Assembly recognized internationally the Day of Vesak to acknowledge the contribution that Buddhism has made and continues to make to the spirituality of humanity.

Wish you all a peaceful and blessed day of Vesak...Keep smiling life is beautiful!!!!
