Vesak Day in 2022

Vesak Day, or the day of the Full Moon, is one of the most important dates on the Buddhist calendar. It celebrates the birth of Buddha in 623 B.C. It was also on this day that the Buddha attained enlightenment and, coincidently, it is the day he passed away eighty years later.

@Cherrylicious_B @ElisabethHobbes @beequammie Every full moon is auspicious for buddhists but Buddha Day, Buddha Jayanti or Vesak is a very important day for Buddhists to celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. Celebrated in many countries around 16th May this year.
