Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community are celebrating today? Today isÌýVisakha Puja day which is a holiday celebrated by Buddhists and some Hindus around the world.ÌýVisakha Puja day, also known as Buddha day or Vesak, is the holiest day for Buddhists and is celebrated by Buddhist communities all over the world. It marks the three important incidents in the life of Buddha: Buddha’s birthday, the enlightenment of the Buddha, and the death of the Buddha. Some Buddhists also listen to Dhamma preaching and go to temples for special observations.ÌýIt is also a time to reflect on the Ìýteachings of Buddha and what it means to be Buddhist.ÌýTo all students and families at WMS who celebrate Visakha Puja, we wish you peace.Ìý
