On this day of profound spiritual significance, we honour the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Buddha. Vesak offers not only a moment of remembrance but also a call to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and inner peace. The teachings of the Buddha—of moderation, non-violence, and mindfulness—offer enduring guidance for a world too often caught in division and haste. May those observing Vesak be blessed in their devotion, and may its light shine on all who seek the path of peace.
