Happy Vesak Day!

Vesak is the most sacred festival in Buddhism, recognizing the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha. It is celebrated across many Asian countries and is a time for Buddhists to reflect on the Buddha's teachings of peace and compassion by visiting temples, chanting, and performing charitable acts.

In Tibetan Buddhism, this festival is known as Saga Dawa Düchen, and is celebrated as a month of merits when the karmic effects of positive and negative acts are amplified.
