Vaisakha Month & Buddha Day Celebration

Dear Members and Well-wishers,

Buddha Day 2552 is just around the corner, Buddhists throughout the world rejoice to receive this auspicious occasion and once again we bring you good news and greetings on this Sacred Buddha Day.

Buddha Day signifies the day of the birth of Lord Buddha, His attainment of Supreme Enlightenment and His Pari-Nibanna. Thus, it is observed as "The Thrice Sacred Day".

A series of activities have been scheduled during the Vaisakha Month. We will take this opportunity to invite all the members, devotees and well-wishers to attend the Buddha Day Celebration ceremony to be held at 10 am, Monday 19th May 2008 at our premises. Vegetarian lunch will be served.

Your presence will be greatly appreciated
With the Blessing of the Triple Gems and Happy Wesak.
