This year's Visakha Pucca will be celebrated on Friday, May 1, 2026.

-----


Visakha Pucca commemorates three of the greatest events in the life of the Buddha, which occurred on the 15th day of the same month, the same month of Visakha, but in different years.

Birth date: He was born in the forest of Lumbini (now in Nepal).

Enlightenment date: He attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya.

Parinibbana date: He passed away in Kusinara.

Visakha Pucca has been recognized by the United Nations (UN) as an "International Day" since 1999. This shows that the Buddha's principles of peace, compassion, and non-violence are universal values that the whole world recognizes.

 This year's Visakha Bucha and the festival will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026, which is the 15th day of the month of Visakha, the year of the Buddhist calendar, 2569 B.E. 

Visakha Bucha is not just a regular religious festival, but a reminder for all of us to "do good deeds, abandon evil deeds, and purify our hearts" for the sake of social well-being.
