Hi,You said you want to know about an event that we celebrate. We celebrate Vesak Poya every year in the month of May. It's about the Lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment and his passing away. It is a colorful event. Vesak Poya is the most important day for all Buddhists. Please come to Sri Lanka before the Poya next time.
See you soon!
