Magha Puja Day (Buddhist)

This holy day is observed to commemorate an important event in the life of the Buddha.

After the first Rains Retreat (Vassa) at the Deer Park at Sarnath, the Buddha went to Rajagaha city where 1250 Arahats,(Enlightened Saints)Buddhas disciples, without prior appointment, returned from their wanderings to pay respect to the Buddha.

They assembled in the Veruvana Monastery with the two chief disciples of the Buddha, Ven. Sariputta and Ven. Moggalana.
