Buddha Purnima 2024: One of the year’s most fortunate days is Buddha Purnima. Buddha Purnima is celebrated worldwide with great fervour and devotion by the Buddhist community. In certain regions of the nation, it is also known as Vaishakha Purnima or Vesak. People celebrate this lucky day by organising processions and concerts. Gautam Buddha’s birth anniversary is commemorated on Buddha Purnima. Siddhartha Gautam achieved enlightenment under the revered Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya on this day. This occurred during a protracted meditation by Siddhartha Gautam, who was looking for answers about the purpose of life and the source of suffering. Siddhartha Gautam became known as Gautam Buddha upon his enlightenment.

Buddha Purnima is commemorated on Thursday, May 23, this year. We should keep in mind Gautam Buddha’s teachings and how he modelled for us how to live a life of love, non-violence, and peace as we commemorate this unique day.

Buddha’s teachings that can transform your life:

Since everything we do in this world returns back to us, as Gautam Buddha taught, we should live compassionate and loving lives. Nothing is lost in this universe.

The only thing that is constant in this world is change, therefore we should learn to accept it. Everything changes.

Buddha advocated for living in the moment rather than ruminating on the past or fretting about the future.

Truth cannot be concealed: According to him, the truth cannot be concealed from view, just like the sun and moon.

Think positively: Since our thoughts are reflected in our minds, we should feed our minds good things to think about in order to lead happy lives.

Never give up: We should never give up on ourselves, regardless of our circumstances or background.

Walk alone: When we choose the path of truth, we might not always find companionship. We ought to never stop walking.

Never be harsh with others: words have the power to hurt, therefore we should always select our words wisely.

Our biggest possession is our bodies, which are our greatest value. It needs to be loved and cared for.

Manage your rage: Anger may lead us to act in ways that are inconsistent with our morals. It is for us to control, not for us to control.

Never think back on the past: The past is in the past, and it is best to move on. Rather, we ought to live in the moment.

Recognise what we have: We ought to learn to be content with our lot in life and to be grateful for it.
