Today is the Vesak Full Moon Poya Day, the day when the Buddha was born, became Buddha and passed away.
Today is considered the most sacred religious day for Buddhists around the world.
The Buddha was born as an ascetic named Sumedha in one lifetime and received his first definitive teaching from the Buddha Dipankara on a Vesak Full Moon Poya Day.
The book also states that Ananda Mahatheru, who served as the Buddha's chief attendant, passed away on this day.
Meanwhile, Vesak Poya Day is important to the people of Sri Lanka in another way.
That is, the Vesak Full Moon Poya Day is commemorated today because Prince Vijaya, who is mentioned in the chronicles as the ancestor of the Sinhala race, and seven hundred other people came to this country and inaugurated the Sinhala nation.
