According to Theravada tradition, the Wesak Full-moon Day commemorates the Buddha’s birth, Enlightenment, and passing away some 25 centuries ago.  This Wesak marks the 2,559th anniversary of His passing; hence the Buddhist Era (B.E.) 2559.

We joyfully invite you, your family and friends to join us and experience the serenity and joy of Wesak observance.
