The background of Asahna Bucha Day

‘Asahna Bucha’ Day, also known as ‘Asalha Puja’ or ‘Dhamma’ Day, is a Buddhist festival observed on the full moon of the eighth lunar month, depending on the region. Typically, this occurs in July of each year. This religious celebration honours the Buddha and commemorates his first sermon and the founding of the Buddha’s’sangha’ — also known as the ‘Four Noble Truths.’

The noble truths consist of ‘Dukkha’ (suffering), ‘tanh’ (craving), ‘nibbna’ (the state beyond the challenges enumerated), and the eight-fold path, which is the path to ‘nirvana. The discourse in which Buddha outlined these teachings became known to his disciples as the beginning of the “Dhamma,” a key concept with multiple implications in Theravada Buddhism.

This first sermon, which describes the Buddha’s first structured discourse after he attained enlightenment, contains the essence of all his subsequent teachings. After delivering a sermon that left his listeners speechless and pondering, one of the participants asked to become a disciple. Buddha accorded him this honour, thereby establishing the first monastic order.

Asahna Bucha Day is one of the many Buddhist festivals celebrated in Thailand, and it is widely observed. It is the largest, most celebrated, and most significant religious exhibition in the nation. Other nations that observe and celebrate this day include Myanmar, Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Laos.

DAY OF ASAHNA BUCHA ACTIVITIES

Pay a visit to a temple and respect the priests.

The best way to celebrate Asarnha Bucha Day is to go outside and visit temples where you can leave gifts for the priests, such as candles and flowers. Perhaps you can even produce traditional Thai cookies and confections. Respecting the monks and demonstrating that they matter signifies that you, too, are a devout and devoted Buddhist.

Attend a festival of candles

Hundreds of individuals congregate in their respective cities and towns to light candles and incense. Some distribute these candles in temples, while others disseminate them in community spaces. In certain regions of Thailand, you can participate in elaborate candle festivals, as this custom has become a fixture of the modern era. The most famous candle festival is held in Ubon Ratchathani, a city in Thailand’s northeast.

Prepare for the ‘Wan Khao Phansa’ ceremony.

‘Wan Khao Phansa’ occurs the day after ‘Asahna Bucha’ Day and signifies the commencement of the three-month ‘Phansa’ period, also known as the rainy season. During this period, monks typically remain within the walls of their own temple, so the gifts they receive at candle festivals are useful. This is observed by the remainder of the community as “Buddhist Lent.”
