Holistic Education for Integral Human Development
Significance of Buddha Day
Buddha Day commemorates the Enlightenment of the Buddha – His liberation from ignorance and suffering. This event took place on the Full-moon Day in the month of Vesakhā, which falls between April and May in our conventional calendar. Thus, according to tradition this day is also known as ‘Vesak Day’ (or Wesak Day).

In conjunction with Wesak Observance, Nalanda Dhamma School has started a project to produce videos in the form of a narrative poem adapted from the book ‘The Light of Asia’ written by Sir Edwin Arnold. The videos aim to recollect the important events that took place during the Buddha’s lifetime.
We invite you to watch the five videos produced by our teenagers and facilitators. Each video comprises the inspiring qualities of the Buddha, may you discover something valuable from the videos. Enjoy your visit!
