Visakha (Vesak) Day - A Celebration of the Buddha

Join us at the Dhammakaya Meditation Center California for a joyous celebration of Visakha (Vesak) Day! This in-person event is a wonderful opportunity to honor the life and teachings of the Buddha.

On this special celebration of the Buddha, we welcome more than 150 Buddhist monastics from over 11 Buddhist traditions to join together as a united Sangha, including monks from Myanmar, China, Tibet, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Japan, and Thailand.

We will join in group meditation, sanghadana offering of necessities to the monastics, light lanterns to illuminate the meditation lawn, and participate in a candlelight walking meditation.

Visakha (Vesak) Day is a time for all to unite and reflect on the profound impact the Buddha has had on the world. Come and be a part of this meaningful celebration!
