Vesak commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and complete expiration of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama and thus his exit from the cycle of rebirth (samsara).

The festival originates from the Theravada Buddhist tradition and is now celebrated by Buddhists all over the world as the most important common holiday. It also serves as a conscious search for the similarities and common roots of the various Buddhist traditions around the world. In the Theravada countries of Southeast Asia in particular, Vesak is celebrated as the biggest festival of the year.

This year, the Vesak celebration falls on Thursday, May 23, 2024, and will be celebrated by the Austrian Buddhist Religious Community on May 26 at the Peace Pagoda by the Danube. — Link for further information: https://www.buddhismus-austria.at/angebotprogramm/vesakh-feiern/
