There are many special or holy days held throughout the year by the Buddhist community. Many of these days celebrate the birthdays of Bodhisattvas in the Mahayana tradition or other significant dates in the Buddhist calendar. The most significant celebration however, happens every May on the night of the full moon, when Buddhists all over the world celebrate the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha over 2,500 years ago. It has become to be known as Buddha Day. Buddhist Festivals are always joyful occasions.
Can you compare this celebration to celebrations in any other religion?
