Celebrate Vesak with ABC

Come celebrate and share the love, compassion and peace embodied and taught by the Buddha, on the day commemorating His birth, enlightenment and parinirvana!

Why Celebrate Vesak Day?

Vesak Day honours Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and parinirvana.

Motivated by great compassion, Buddha dedicated his life to searching for the way to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings. Hence, Vesak Day is especially important for Buddhists to remember the Buddha’s great kindness, and practice his teachings to work towards enlightenment just as he did.

Due to Buddha’s power, the virtue created by offering prayers and making offerings such as incense, flowers, and lights on this day is many times greater than if done on a normal day.
