Wesak Day, also known as Vesak Day, is usually in May of every Gregorian calendar year. It is a Buddhist celebration , celebrated by this who embrace Buddhism. It is commemorating Lord Gautama Buddha’s birth and ascension into Buddhahood and reaching Nirvana. This festival is quite an event in some countries, where they have prayers, processions and it is a public holiday.
Gautama Buddha was born an Indian prince, a human being just like you and I, who is reading this now. He attained Buddhahood, or what people would generally known it as the word ‘enlightenment’ in English, ‘bodhi’ in Sanskrit, and ‘buddhi’ to the Indians. Through many hardships, trials and meditation, he has gone through. He has regarded Buddhism as a teaching, rather than a religion. To attain enlightenment is to stop the human suffering arising from worldly desires.
