2600 Sambhuddhathwa Janatiya_part 01

May 2011 marks 2600 years since the Lord Buddha attained Supreme Enlightenment or Nibbāna. This rare and wonderful occasion known as Sambuddhathwa Jayanthiya falls on the full moon day of May, 2011. Although the annual commemoration of Vesak, the most sacred day in the Buddhist calendar commemorating the three-fold incidence (Temagula) of the birth, attainment of Supreme Enlightenment and the Parinibbāna (the Great Passing Away) of the Gautama Buddha falls on this day, this year it is uniquely significant as it is the 2600th year of the Buddha's Enlightenment. Especially in an era where the world is confronted with many conflicts as well as natural and man-made calamities, the Buddhist Doctrine of non-violence, understanding, compassion and peace holds hope for mankind.
