AN UNPRECEDENTED VESAK BUT A HAPPY ONE, NONETHELESS

When I started writing my message for Vesak Day this year, it wasn’t easy. This is an unprecedented Vesak – we are unable to go to temples or celebrate with our loved ones.

I almost wrote my message along with those subdued themes. Then I thought about the meaning of Vesak. It’s the celebration of the Birth, Enlightenment, and the Parinibbana of the Buddha.

It is a joyous occasion.
