what's important vesak
Perhaps the best known date on the Buddhist calendar, familiar even to non-Buddhists, is the thrice blessed day of “Vesak”. Vesak is the name of the month in the ancient Indian calendar and it usually falls in May though sometimes it may commence in the latter part of April or extend to the early part of June. Vesak is derived from the original Pali word “Vesakha” or Sanskrit “Vaishakha” .
