Description

衛塞節（Vesak），或作威瑟節，比薩寶蕉節(វិសាខបូជា)，是南傳佛教傳統紀念佛教創始人釋迦牟尼佛誕生、成道、入滅（涅槃）的節日。東南亞和南亞國家如斯里蘭卡、尼泊爾、泰國、柬埔寨、緬甸、越南、新加坡、馬來西亞、印度尼西亞，孟加拉國等國的佛教徒，均在這一年一度的重要節日中舉行盛大的慶典活動。


衛塞節，其實是把釋迦牟尼佛（佛陀）誕生、成道、湼槃，於同一日紀念。據記載，佛陀在5月的一個月圓之日出生；35年後又在5月的某月圓之日，於菩提樹下悟道；後來他湼槃那天，巧的也是5月的月圓之日。三者雖非同一天，卻全都在5月份，且有月圓之最大共同特點。於是，後世的佛教徒，便訂下在每年5月的第一個月圓日，慶祝衛塞節。

About Vesak Day
Born in Nepal in 567 BC, Gautama Buddha -- or Prince Siddhartha Gautama at birth -- was the son of a tribal leader.

As an adult, he founded a sect of wandering ascetics and the community eventually evolved into a religion after his death at 80 years old.

Today, over 488 million people -- or roughly 9% of the world's population -- practice Buddhism, nearly 99% of which are located in the Asia-Pacific region.

Each year, on the full moon of the month of Vesakha (usually falling in May or June in the western calendar), millions of Buddhists around the world take part in Vesak Day celebrations.
Not only does the date of Vesak Day change year after year, but it can also be different among cultures, depending which calendar they subscribe to.

The holiday goes by dozens of names -- but many countries unofficially refer to it as Buddha's Birthday or Buddha Day.
It celebrates three important events of Buddha's life: birth, enlightenment, and death -- said to have occurred on the same calendar day, albeit many years apart.
