Buddha Purnima, also known as Vesak or Buddha Jayanti, is celebrated to commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and death (or attaining of Nirvana) of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. It is considered one of the most important Buddhist festivals and is celebrated with great enthusiasm by Buddhists all over the world.
Therefore, Buddha Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Vesakha to honor these three important events in Buddha’s life.
On this day, Buddhists visit temples, offer prayers, light candles, and participate in various religious activities to honour Buddha and his teachings.
They also engage in acts of charity and kindness, such as offering food and gifts to the less fortunate, as a way to practice the teachings of Buddha and cultivate compassion and kindness towards all beings.
