Why Do We Celebrate Buddha Purnima?

Buddha Purnima is celebrated annually on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Vaishya to celebrate the birthday of the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha. The birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama is believed to be Nepal, and Buddha Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Vishnu. Buddha Purnima marked the birth, enlightenment, and death of Sakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni Buddha, and is warmly celebrated by Buddhist sects. In much of East Asia, Purnima Buddha is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha.


Vesak or Vesak is the day of the full moon in

May, this year on May 19 (dates may vary by region) - a very important day for

Buddhists who celebrate Shakyamuni The Birth, Enlightenment, and Nirvana of the

Buddha. The Gregorian dates change every year, and the Buddhist festival of

Purnima or Vesak falls on the full moon day (April or May) of the Hindu

Patriarchal month, Vesak is India's official holiday newspaper. In South and

Southeast Asia, the Buddha's birthday is celebrated on the full moon day of the

Buddhist calendar Vasakha and the Hindu Bikram Sambat, usually in April or May

in the Western Gregorian calendar. In present-day India and Nepal, where Prince

Gautama lives, the Buddha's birthday is celebrated on the full moon day of

Vishnu in the Buddhist calendar.


In most Japanese temples, the Buddha's birthday

is now celebrated in the Gregorian and Buddhist calendars on April 8; only a

few (mainly in Okinawa) celebrate it according to the Chinese Orthodox calendar

on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. This day is celebrated by

Buddhists and Hindus around the world and is an important holiday in countries

such as India, modern Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, Tibet, China, Korea, Laos,

Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka ( where

Jayanti Buddha or Purnima Buddha is called Vesak), however, each country

celebrates the festival differently. On May 26, 2021, according to the lunar

calendar followed by religions of Indian origin, Vesak (Buddha Purnima, Buddha

Jayanti) will be celebrated - a Buddhist holiday that marks birth,

enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. Although Buddhists regard every

full moon as sacred, the moon of Vaisakh has a special significance because on

this day the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment (nirvana), and attained

parinirvana (nirvana after the death of the body) when he died.
