“Vesak, the Day of the Full Moon in the month of May, is the most sacred day to millions of Buddhists around the world. It was on the Day of Vesak two and a half millennia ago, in the year 623 B.C. that the Buddha was born. It was also on the Day of Vesak that the Buddha attained enlightenment, and it was on the Day of Vesak that the Buddha in his eightieth year passed away” informed Sandeep Marwah Ambassador of International Human Rights Organization affiliated to United Nations and International Bar Association.
The General Assembly recognized internationally the Day of Vesak to acknowledge the contribution that Buddhism, one of the oldest religions in the world, has made for over two and a half millennial and continues to make to the spirituality of humanity. This day is commemorated annually at the UN Headquarters and other UN offices, in consultation with the relevant UN offices and with permanent missions, which also wish to be consulted.
Sandeep Marwah who is also the president of World Peace Development And Research Foundation appeal to all the members to put their best to adopt the policy of great religious leader Buddha in creating a better environment at their places.
