Today (Wednesday 13 July 2022) falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It is “Asarnha Bucha Day” or “Big Buddha Day” that is very important one day of Buddhism...after Visakha Bucha Day.

and only Makha Bucha

because on the same day

Go back to 45 years before the beginning of the Buddhist era, at Isipata Maruekhathaiyawan Forest, Varanasi, the Kasi region of the Indian subcontinent.

who had attained the essence of the Dharma from the full moon of the 6th month onwards

He thought of Panchawakkee who used to practice every action together.

and knowing that he was still practicing continually in this forest, he went to perform

"The First Sermon"

known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta to the five hermits

When the sermon is over, Kondanya 1 in Panchawakki

was born of devotion

eyes of righteousness

Having attained Sotaban as a noble person, he asked for ordination, which the Buddha had performed and as a result not only Kondanya would become the first Buddhist monk.

It also gave rise to the core elements of Buddhism known as the “Triple Jewels” or the Three Crystals, which consisted of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha for the first time.

Therefore, today is the first day that the Buddha preached Buddhism with the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta.

which is the framework of the Dharma

And it was the first day that the Noble Sangha was born in the world. Therefore, when all together, it became the first day of the birth of the Triple Gem.

This was the beginning of the establishment of the Dharma Army, with the Buddha who was like a great general.

and Panchawak Key

which later attained to Sotapana as a total arhat

as a deputy general

until receiving respect and admiration from one hundred to hundreds of thousands

From thousands to tens of thousands, etc., sustainable until the present.

The reason I said at the outset that

“Asarnha Bucha Day” is a big Buddha day that may be important after Visakha Bucha Day or Makha Bucha Day because some Buddhists in this world will give

"Visakha Bucha Day" which is the day of birth, enlightenment and nirvana on the full moon day of the 6th lunar month. It is the most important day.

It was announced as a national holiday, with ceremonies, merit-making and offerings of alms to Buddhists around the world.

including being proposed to the United Nations to determine

"World Vesak Day" is also up.

Another important day is "Makha Bucha Day", although Buddhists in other countries place great importance and mention the important events of Makha Bucha Day.

is a Jaturonga League

But it was not announced as a holiday in any way.

Of Thailand, we have a history that has just come to be initiated to be regarded as "Maka Bucha Day" as a national important day during the reign of

King Mongkut (Rama IV) by organizing a ceremony within the royal family

the great palace first

and gradually disseminated to the people of the whole country

As for "Asarnha Bucha Day" as well, other Buddhist-major countries

Just mention and give importance only.

But it was not announced as an official holiday.

Of Thailand, we have just announced it as a national holiday for the first time on the full moon day of the 8th month of the year 1958 by the proposal of the Council of Monks in that year, which saw the importance of various events that occurred. today

But the phrase “just begun” is 64 years old, quite a long time.

and believe that it will last forever

Don't forget to make merit and offer food to monks today...There are probably many temples in Vientiane.

But whoever is going around, please wear a mask.

and keep some distance

Because covid is still humming. Haha.

Pretending to come back again

If there is no time and no opportunity to go out

I ask you to chant Namo 3 times, pay homage to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, intending to do good deeds and refrain from all evil.

according to the teachings of the Master in unison

Happiness in body, happiness and dharma on Asanha Bucha Day

To all readers.
