Photos of UN Day of Vesak Conference 2019


The United Nations (UN) in the US officially recognized Vesakha Bucha (simply called Vesak Day) as "International Day" in 1999. Since then, Vesak Day has been celebrated worldwide as the day marks the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. 

Especially in Thailand, it is annually led by the Thai Government along with Mahachula Buddhist University (MCU) to celebrate the Buddha's three events with its 16th Annual United Nations Day of Vesak Conference on Mindfulness: Concepts and Applications at the UN Covention Center in Bangkok.

As to the Buddha's key advice, it places importance on 1) avoiding doing whatever is bad, 2) doing whatever is good,  and 3) purifying one's mind mainly through mindfulness meditation practice. It also involves the Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths, the Law of Cause and Effect, and the Five Buddhist Precepts. All of these key teachings of the Buddha are closely related.
