Māgha Pūjā 2024
Māgha Pūjā Day commemorates a day during the first year of Lord Buddha’s teaching career when 1,250 Arahants (Enlightened monks) came together spontaneously without prior invitation, to pay respects to Lord Buddha. These Arahants were all personally ordained by Lord Buddha. Seeing that it was an assembly of purified monks, Lord Buddha preached to them the Ovāda-pāṭimokkha, a summary of the Dhamma. This summary has since been used as a synopsis of Lord Buddha’s teachings.
We welcome you, your family and friends to join us in commemorating this special occasion. See the poster for more details.
