Vesak – Buddhist Values Assembly

This week’s whole college assembly was about Vesak, one of the most important festivals in Buddhism. Vesak commemorates the birth, enlightenment and passing of Siddhartha Gautama.

Buddhists around the world celebrate Vesak by visiting temples, lighting candles, meditating, sharing meals and helping those in need. The festival is a time to reflect on important values that can inspire us all in our everyday lives.
