The Significance of Vesak

This Friday marks the most important day for Buddhist, that is the Vesak day which commemorates the birth, awakening and passing away of the Buddha. This very special and significant day reminds us to practise and live meaningfully as what the Buddha had taught us, with wisdom and compassion. Not to do evil, cultivate all good and purify our minds. Keeping the precepts and continue to practise to remove our greed, hatred and ignorance, to end pain and suffering and leading to Enlightenment...eventually.
