                             Visakha Puja, is an extremely important day in


                                the Buddhist tradition, for it was on this day

                            that the Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born,


                               and 35 years later ascetic Gautama awoke to


                                   the unexcelled right self-awakening who


                            became Gautama the Buddha, and another 45


                           years later Siddhartha Gautama Buddha passed


                                away into total nibbana. In each case, these


                            events took place on the full-moon day in May,

                                  when the moon is in the Visakha asterism,


                                which is why the day is called Visakha Puja.
