One of Many
Namaste all,
i just want to wish you all a happy Vesak Day!
Vesak Day is the day where many Buddhists, depending on cultural tradition, celebrate the arising, awakening and parinirvana of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, from which our religion takes it's name.
Vesak Day is celebrated on the full moon day of May. Vesak means "May" in Sanskrit. by and large, the east Asian Buddhist calendar is based on a lunar cycle as this is a leap year in the solar cycle, which is how things are tracked in the west, the day that we celebrate is moved back one month, to June.
have a wonderful week!
