Better late than never... Every full moon day is an auspicious day for Buddhists, but the most important of all is the the full moon in May. Three major events in the life of the Buddha took place on this day. Firstly, the Buddha-to-be, Siddhartha Gautama was born at Lumbini Grove on the full moon day in May. Secondly, after six years of practice, he attained enlightenment under the the Bodhi tree and became Gotama Buddha also on the full moon day of May. Thirdly, after 45 years of teaching the Dhamma, when he was 80. 🤲🏾 This time of the year is known as Vesak. It’s a time for celebration, family and generosity. Today is a good day to practice meditation or yoga, light candles and be give. Reflect on things coming and things going and remember just how precious this human life really is.
