Celebrated on the full moon day in the month of May, it is a time for Buddhists all around the world to reflect on the teachings of the Buddha and pay homage to his legacy.

What do people do on the day of Buddha Purnima?

The day is marked by various ceremonies and rituals, including the hoisting of the Buddhist flag, lighting lamps, and offering flowers at Buddhist temples and monasteries.

Many Buddhists also observe a day of fasting and engage in acts of charity and compassion towards their fellow beings.

One of the most significant aspects of Buddha Purnima is the recitation of the Buddha's teachings, known as the Dhamma, and the practice of meditation.

These practices are central to Buddhism and are believed to lead to the attainment of inner peace and liberation from suffering.

Buddha’s Teachings

Buddha Purnima serves as a reminder of these teachings and encourages us to reflect on their relevance in our lives today.

At Last,

The best thing about Buddhism is its relation to Hinduism. You see if we compare the teachings of Buddhism and Hinduism, they are totally similar except for just a few alterations.

As we celebrate Buddha Purnima today, may you develop compassion toward others, develop wisdom within yourself, and realize your own self-awareness. Happy Buddha Purnima to you all.
