Theme: “Supporting, Nurturing and Growing in the Dhamma”
Wesak is a sacred day for Buddhists. We come together to commemorate three significant events in the Buddha's life: his birth as Prince Siddharta, his Enlightenment, and his passing away into Parinibbana at the age of eighty.
This year, Wesak Day falls on Monday, 12 May 2025, and we warmly invite you, your family, and your friends to celebrate this special occasion with us.
Celebrations begin on Wesak Eve, Sunday, 11 May 2025.
