In India, Vaishakh Purnima day is also known as Buddha Jayanti day and has been traditionally accepted as Buddha&#8217;s birth day.<br \/>\nVesak day in Indonesia: This significant and traditional holy day is observed throughout Indonesia where it is known as Waisak Day. At Borobudur, thousands of Buddhist monks will join together to repeat mantras and meditate as they circuit the temple in a ritual called &#8220;Pradaksina&#8221;. This is a form of tribute to the temple. Monks celebrate the special day by bottling holy water (which symbolises humility) and transporting flames (which symbolize light and enlightenment) from location to location. The monks also took part in the &#8220;Pindapata&#8221; ritual, where they received charity from the people of Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vesak Day 11 may 2017, On Ves\u0101kha Day, Buddhists all over the world commemorate events of significance to Buddhists of all traditions: The birth, enlightenment and the passing away of Gautama Buddha.
