James Baraz: Thursday is Wesak! Thursday is Wesak! Honoring the Life and Teaching of the Buddha
(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) This Thursday, May 23rd is Wesak, the most special day in Theravada Buddhist countries (Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka). The full moon in May is said to be the day that the Buddha was born, became enlightened at the age of 35 and died at the age of 80. The three holiest of days all rolled into one! On this Wesak, we can reflect on who this person was, what he discovered on his journey and the legacy he's left us.
