Happy Ashari Purnima!
On this sacred full moon day, we commemorate three profound milestones in the life of the Buddha—His conception, His Great Renunciation in search of the ultimate truth and His first sermon, setting in motion the Wheel of Dhamma. These events remind us that wisdom, compassion and selfless service illuminate the path to lasting peace.
This auspicious day also marks the beginning of the three-month Vassa (Rains Retreat), during which our revered monks remain in monastic residence, devoting themselves to deeper meditation, study of the Dhamma and spiritual cultivation. It is likewise a season for lay devotees to strengthen their practice through generosity, moral discipline and meditation while supporting the Sangha.
May this blessed Ashari Purnima inspire us all to cultivate generosity, mindfulness and loving-kindness in our daily lives.
Wishing everyone a peaceful, joyful and blessed Ashari Purnima!
