Rimmer Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Pattaya celebrates “Visaka Bucha” PATTAYA;The three most important holy days of the year for Thai Buddhists all include the word “Bucha”,which means to pay homage. But the most auspicious of the three is Visakha Bucha, which simultaneously commemorates three important anniversaries in the life of the Lord Buddha: his birth, his enlightenment, and his death. The Lord Buddha passed away exactly 80 years from the day of his birth. On that day, 2555 years ago, when the count of the years of the Buddhist Era began, the Buddha achieved the ultimate goal of merging his enlightenment with Nirvana, freeing himself forever from the eternal cycle of death and reincarnation which is the fate of lesser mortals Full story:http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/56471/pattaya-celebrates-visaka-bucha/ -- Pattaya One 2012-06-05 [newsfooter][/newsfooter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
