May 31st is Vesak Day (Gautama Buddha's Birthday). Happy Ka-sone-la-pyae (meaning Full Moon Day of Kasone in Burmese) everyone.

I didn't get to do anything special for today but I did pray and take percepts and do the seitbadee and send metta to all beings (and I do mean all).

Sabbe satta sukhi hontu
May all beings be well and happy

Hi,

Yesterday was Vesak day or Ka Sone Full moon day for other Buddhist countries except in Myanmar. The year 1369ME is "War Htet" Year so one month and a day different with other lunar calenders(e.g. Chinese). This week Wed was NaYone Fullmoon day in our country according to our traditionally calculated calender.

Take care
