... the three major events associated with the Buddha and the beginning of Buddhism all took place more than 2, 50 years ago in a land called "the subcontinent" in Buddha times.

... by the first event, 80 years before Buddha, it was "the birthday of Prince Dhutthaya" under the umbrella of the Royal Park of Lumbini Wan (in present-day Nepal).

... and the next event, 45 years before the Buddha, was "the day that Prince Prithatthatha attained the Amma Bodhisattva, enlightenment as His Majesty Buddha," under the umbrella of the Bodhisattva River, on the banks of the Neranagra River, Uruvela Sangha (in what is now India).

.... And the last event, one year before the Buddha, was "the day of His Majesty's Buddha," under the umbrella of the Buddha in Salunothayan, Malala's Park, Kusinara (in present-day India). All the events coincided with the day of the sixth month or the month of Vesak, so the Buddhists regarded this sixth month as the day that most closely resembled the day of the Buddha's major events, and popularized charitable ceremonies and Buddha ceremonies to commemorate His Majesty the Buddha until now.

... For this reason, the General Assembly recognized Vesak as "International Day," in accordance with General Assembly resolution 54 / 12 of December 13, 1952.

The meaning of "Vesak Day"

In terms of great phenomena in the history of mankind,

By...His Majesty the Buddhist Professor (P.Yutto)

.

... "The meaning of the" Vesak Day "that has been mentioned is, although profound and important, also limited to the human life, the life of the Prophet. The Vesak Day also has a more extensive meaning, which is the principle of Buddhism, which matches the fact that the emergence of Buddha is the emergence of Buddhism, and in this sense, the emergence of Buddha and Buddhism is a great phenomenon that is unique, regarded as the rise of a new era in the history of mankind, where the birth, enlightenment, and the Buddha's princess have the following principles:

.

# 1. The birth of the Buddha is the declaration of human freedom.

The birth of the Prince of Rights also means the emergence of the Buddha, which is a common meaning.

... The birth of the Prince of Rights is symbolized by the proclamation of the emergence of the Buddha with the so-called "Asabhiva," "Asabhiva," which means, "I am the best of the world, I am the big brother of the world, I am the best of the world."

... This verbal proclamation is preached among the human society that has the influence of all-encompassing and domineering gods. The word "Shetat" and so on is a proclamation of the Supreme God. Man believed that how bad his life and society would be, how bad it would be for the power of the gods to punish or inspire it. What a man would have to do to bring good to his life, family, and society is to submit to the deity and to plead for the desired consequences of sacrifice and sacrifice.

... When the Buddha happened, he proclaimed a revolutionary principle of human thought, belief and way of life, that this man is a special animal with the potential to cultivate the highest good. When a man cultivates himself to be virtuous and wise, he will be the highest person, called "Buddha," which the gods throughout even the Brahma will worship. Therefore, the man who trains himself to the highest, this Buddha is "Akka," the great one, "the great one, the" Satana, "not even the Lord.

... With this principle, Buddhism has motivated and motivated humans to pay attention to their self-contained human potential and to their consciousness to cultivate their life and well-being, their behavior Phumtham their wisdom, with their awareness of whether the peace, peace, and freedom of their lives and societies will be achieved, and how much they are in the practice of human self-improvement, not in the inspiration of the gods. Humans should not think about pampering for the gods, but should try to improve themselves to their ability to succeed with their wisdom.

... the birth of the Buddha, or the emergence of Buddhism, was a revolution in the history of mankind, declaring that the supremacy that determines human destiny is the practice of self-improvement, and the act of wisdom developed to know the truth of nature, not the inspiration of gods.

.

# 2. The enlightenment of the Buddha is the appearance of the highest.

... the freedom of man proclaimed at birth is fulfilled because of enlightenment, that is, when man understands the truth of nature, and acts righteousness, practicing his wisdom to enlightenment, man is the highest "Buddha."

... Enlightenment is the convergence between human wisdom and nature, and when enlightenment is the truth of nature, the Buddha says, "Jytahwe Patuanthemum," and so on, it is said, "When righteousness appears to the precious person who is striving to focus on it, then all doubts perish, because he comes to understand the righteousness and its cause... because he knows the end of the factors..., removing the devil and Sena, as the sun shines brightly; therefore."

Dharma is the truth of nature, the greatest, and not any god or inspiration. Even the gods are under the authority of righteousness, the truth of nature, the factors of nature. Dharma is above the gods, and the gods cannot prevail. Knowing this, man will strive to develop himself to understand and to act according to righteousness, because man has wisdom that can develop righteousness.

... when you have access to justice, you have the independence to be and act in harmony with justice, with a wisdom that understands justice, which is a certain rule, and you do not wait for the command of your goddess Brahma, who does not know what to want, and when to offend or favor.

.

# 3Pronirvana is a reminder of consciousness in the way of carelessness.

... one side of the law or the truth of the natural law is that immortality is durable, and change is according to the cause of things.

.... While the truth of justice tells us that we must cultivate ourselves to be qualified, capable, and wise to understand and act according to the law of nature, our lives will be excellent, achieve true peace and freedom only if we have the wisdom to reach the right and the human life and society to walk according to the right, but at the same time it directs the truth that all our lives and environment are not sustainable, they must change according to the factors, so we cannot remain careless, because if we are careless, our lives may lose the opportunity to develop access to the value and benefits of the right.

... Therefore, in order for the Buddha's enlightenment and preaching to the world to be useful to our lives and societies, and for our lives and societies to pursue the goodness, peace, and freedom that is due to them, we must be careless or walk in a way of recklessness.

.... Therefore, when it came to pranirvana, the Buddha spoke the last word called "verbal verbal," which can be considered the sign and meaning of the pranirvana: "Vythma, Songkara, Opmaten, Sompateth," 3 which means, "All things made up of the ingredients are to be broken down; you shall be ready to be careless."
