Invitation to Attend the 2650th Vesak Celebration (B.E. 2570)<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, May 17, 2026<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Most Venerable and Venerable Monks and Nuns,<\/span><\/em>
\nDear fellow Buddhist devotees,<\/span><\/em>
\nWhen the Buddha appeared in this world so fair,<\/span>
\nHe spread the True Dharma, shining everywhere.<\/span>
\nThe Fourfold Assembly now stands here today,<\/span>
\nTogether we practice, bringing peace to all ways.<\/span>
\nJoyful is the Buddha\u2019s birth today,<\/span>
\nJoyful shines the True Dharma\u2019s radiant ray.<\/span>
\nJoyful the harmonious Sangha, a field of endless merit,<\/span>
\nJoyful the Fourfold Assembly, together we inherit<\/span>. (Dhammapada 194)<\/span><\/span>
\nEvery year, when Vesak (Buddha\u2019s Birthday) is celebrated worldwide, whether we are Buddhists or not, workers, educators, or officials, at temples or in workplaces, we share a common aspiration: to come together to practice the Buddha\u2019s teachings and reflect on the life of Shakyamuni Buddha, so that we may live in peace, joy, and true happiness here and now.<\/span>
\nTo enhance the solemnity of this year\u2019s Vesak celebration, we sincerely invite the Venerable Sangha and respectfully ask our fellow lay Buddhists to graciously take some of their precious time to join us at Ph\u00e1p Nh\u00e3n Temple for this important event. The presence and blessings of the Venerable Sangha will bring great merit and encouragement to our temple community. We offer our heartfelt respect and deep gratitude to all.<\/span><\/p>\n
