The Vesak

Pouring out the golden glow the full moon of Vesak, trying to melt in the blooming sky... Given the courtesy of trees & breeze Even the birds show their clarity Reminds the glory of a legendary day happened the birth, the enlightenment & the Parinirvana of the Lord Buddha... The Vesak full moon... It is time, it is sign to collect good deeds to prove yourself Pay homage the Triple Gem renew the Five Shiksha... Follow the path, where the Lord Buddha led... The Buddhism, A philosophy deep & logical, explains reasons... All in all, pinched to a quote "He who lives by the Dhamma, is protected by the Dhamma" Sadhu!! Sadhu!! Sadhu!! Vesak : The full moon day of month of May, in celebration of the events of Lord buddha's life The Parinirvana : The final deathless state of the Lord Buddha The Triple Gem : The three Refuges (Buddha, Dhamma, Sanga) The Five Shiksha : The five precepts The Dhamma : The teaching of the Lord Buddha Sadhu : I partake of it
