Magha Puja Day 2022
วันมาฆบูชา
Magha Puja is the second most important Buddhist festival, celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month in Thailand.
45 years later, on the same full moon in the third lunar month, Buddha again delivered his teachings shortly before his death.
This third lunar month on which both events occurred is known in Buddhist Pali language as ‘Makha‘. ‘Bucha‘, means to honor.
In Thailand, people go to Buddhist temples on Magha Puja Day to take part in rites and to “earn merit.”
They may also abstain from alcoholic beverages, give food offerings to monks, meditate, and take part in a late-night candle procession.
