By Lyudmila Klasanova Buddhistdoor Global | 2021-05-28 | A global Online Vesak Celebration organized by the International Buddhist Confederation (IBC) was streamed live on 26 May, a six-hour event dedicated to global peace and relief from COVID-19. Vesak is the most sacred day of the year for millions of Buddhists around the world, who celebrate the birth, enlightenment, and mahaparinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. In a resolution in 1999, the General Assembly of the United Nations recognized the international Day of Vesak to acknowledge the contributions that Buddhism has made to the spirituality of humanity over two-and-a-half millennia. This year marks the 2565th Buddha Jayanti (the birth of Buddha) and, like last year, the occasion was mainly celebrated online due to the ongoing pandemic.
