This is the name given to the Buddha Day festival and also to a month in the Theravada Buddhist calendar.
According to tradition, the Buddha became enlightened and passed away on the same day of the year that he was born. Theravada Buddhists remember this anniversary on the first full moon of Wesak (in May or June). Some Buddhists, for example those in the Zen tradition, celebrate only the Buddha’s birth at this time.
