Sunday: Buddha's Birthday 2010 (Los Angeles)


Celebrating Vesak 2010 at Whittier Narrows
The year is 2553 B.E. Celebrants from all over Los Angeles, particularly the diverse Asian and Latin area of suburban Los Angeles known as the San Gabriel Valley, will host temple booths and events during the celebration of Vesak Day -- Buddha's 2553 B.E. Birthday.

WHAT IS VESAK?
Vesak is a thrice-blessed day commemorating the Buddha's birth, great enlightenment, and passing into parinirvana (the end of suffering without remainder), which legend says all happened on the full moon day of Vesakha (a lunar calendar month corresponding to April/May on the standard solar calendar).
