Dhamma Day, a Buddhist celebration, marks the day when Lord Buddha gave his first sermon to the five ascetics in Deer Park. Celebrated by Buddhists worldwide, it’s considered a time to reflect on the qualities of the Buddha and express gratitude for his teachings which offer humanity a way to find release from its bonds.
初转法轮日是佛教徒庆祝釋迦牟尼成佛之後，在鹿野苑为五比丘第一次宣說佛法的日子。世界各地的佛教徒都会在这一天自我反省佛陀的优良素质以及感恩他弘扬解脱人道的法门。
