The eighth day of the fourth lunar month, is the day to celebrate the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha, also known as “Bathing the Buddha Ceremony”.
More than 2500 years ago, the prince was born, pure water showered from the skies, bathing his royal body. Later, Buddhists celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday every year by holding the Bathing Buddha Ceremony. Through bathing of the Buddha, Buddhists purify body, speech, and mind to eradicate greed, anger, and ignorance. Also, to dedicate the merits, may everyone be purified in body and mind, society be peaceful and auspicious, and the World be in harmony.
