Race Equality - Monthly Spotlight WESAK
Wesak is a Buddhist festival which is celebrated on, or near to the May full moon. Wesak is the celebration of Buddha's birthday. For some Buddhists, it is also the celebration of Buddha's enlightenment, and his death. The festival is a celebration of much colour. Homes are decorated and lanterns are made of paper or wood. Buddhists also visit their local temples for services and teachings, and give offerings to monks.
