Vesak is the most important religious festival to Buddhists.
It is held in the month of May every year. It marks three important events in the life of the Lord Buddha. They are the birth, the enlightenment and the passing away of the Lord Buddha.
We observe ‘Sil’ on this day. We also listen to sermons and other religious talks. We decorate our houses with Vesak lanterns and other decorations. We also illuminate our houses with colored bulbs.
Pandols are erected at public places. We go on pilgrimages to sacred places. All these acts are meant to purify our thoughts. Special religious programs are implemented by Buddhist associations. Vesak lantern competitions are also held.
Let us live happily in peace and harmony on this important day.
