2018MakhaBuchaDay

01 MARCH 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People participate in a procession around at Wat Pathum Wanaram in central Bangkok. Many people go to temples to perform merit-making activities on Makha Bucha Day, which marks four important events in Buddhism: 1,250 disciples came to see the Buddha without being summoned, all of them were Arhantas, or Enlightened Ones, and all were ordained by the Buddha himself. The Buddha gave those Arhantas the principles of Buddhism. In Thailand, this teaching has been dubbed the “Heart of Buddhism.” PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
