Celebrating Buddha’s Enlightenment Day
About Buddha's Enlightenment Day
April 15 is Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, on which we celebrate Buddha’s extraordinary deed of showing the manner of attaining enlightenment in this world.
It is important always to remember Buddha’s kindness. Without Buddha’s kindness, we would not know the real causes of happiness or the real causes of suffering. Buddha taught us how all happiness and suffering depend upon the mind. He showed us how to abandon those states of mind that cause suffering and cultivate those states of mind that cause happiness. In other words, he taught us perfect methods for overcoming suffering and attaining happiness. No one else taught us these methods. How kind Buddha is!
To celebrate, KMC Wellington will engage in Offering to the Spiritual Guide with Tsog prayers starting at 7pm, followed by a social celebration over refreshments.
This event is free of charge. No need to book, simply come along.
