Важный для буддистов день Asalha Bucha Day был в минувший понедельник. Такое событие было сложно оставить без внимания даже в нашей маленькой деревушке.
Asalha Bucha Day [วันอาสาฬหบูชา: wan aa-săan-hà buu-chaa] marks
the day when the Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon known as
"Dhammachakkappavattanasutta” (ธัมมจักกัปปวัตนสูตร) which he preached
to five ascetics at Benares in India over 2,500 years ago, as result all
of them attained enlightenment and was ordained by the Buddha as the
first ever Buddhist monks. Hence, the origin of Buddhist monks, we see
wearing orange color saffron.
It falls on the full moon day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar year, generally in July.
