Dhamma Day, a Buddhist celebration, marks the day when the Lord Buddha gave his first sermon to the five ascetics at the Deer Park in Sarnath, India. 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.
The detailed program is below.
