Today we join Buddhists at home and around the world in celebrating Vesak, a day to honor the heritage, tradition, and teachings of the Buddha. Baishakh, the day of Buddha Purnima, is considered the holiest day by Buddhists around the world. This year this day will be celebrated on May 16, 2022. Lord Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment on this day. Every year this day is celebrated by the United Nations.
According to hindicurrentaffairs.adda247.com, This day is being celebrated every year by the United Nations since the year 2000. The resolution to celebrate this day was passed in 1999. Since the year 2004, the International Vesak Summit is being organized. In 2019, it was held in Vietnam. So far this summit has been held 11 times in Thailand, 3 times in Vietnam, and 1 time in Sri Lanka. According to the calendar of different countries, Buddha Purnima falls on different days.
On this occasion, people celebrate the invaluable contribution of Buddhist communities all over the world. We join these communities in re-committing ourselves to uphold the universal principles of compassion, peace, and respect for human dignity. According to some beliefs, Tretayuga also started from the month of Vaishakh. Due to the holiness and divinity of this month, later the dates of Vaishakh month were associated with the opening of doors of many deity temples and the celebration of festivals in folk traditions.
