Now that there is a new 2015 year dawning I would like to wish each and everyone .. “May the blessings of the Noble Triple Gem ever be with you!... Even though all Buddhists consider this as their secular New Year, there is another New Year’s day. It is the day we celebrate the Birth, Enlightenment and Piri-Nivana of the the All Knowing and Most Compassionate Buddha. The Wesak full moon rises driving the darkness away in the surrounding areas. It reminds us how the Gautama Buddha attained his Supreme Buddhahood by eradicating all the defilements and defeating other evil forces on a Poya Day like this. In fact, the Wesak Poya Day is the most important day of our lives. The Buddhist Era, which was started since the passed away (PariNirvana) of the Gautama Buddha on a Wesak Poya Day, is our New Year. The New Year starts on the Wesak Poya Day for a true Buddhist who took refuge in the Triple Gem (Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha). Buddhists who observed to take the Triple Gem as their protection in the past used Buddhist Era. Accordingly, a meritorious New Year is dawned for the Buddhists around the world on this Wesak Poya Day.
