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).
