Today is #MāghaPūjā. It is a Buddhist festival celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month. It commemorates the gathering of 1,250 of the Buddha's first disciples who came together spontaneously to hear his teachings, marking an important moment in Buddhist history. I wish you well 🙏🪷🙏
