Waisak
Waisak is a significant Buddhist festival celebrated by millions around the world, particularly in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. It commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. The festival usually falls on the full moon in May and involves various rituals, including meditation, prayer, and the lighting of lanterns.
During Waisak, devotees often visit temples to make offerings and participate in ceremonies. Many also engage in acts of kindness and charity, reflecting the teachings of Buddhism. The festival serves as a time for spiritual reflection and community bonding among followers of the faith.
