I had the great privilege of attending the 2024 Australian Observance of the UN Day of Vesak on the 4th of May 2024, organised at Thien An Temple, a Temple in Canley Vale, where many of my constituents attend. To Buddhists, Vesak Day is one of the most sacred days of the year, the day that commemorates the three major events in the life of The Lord Buddha—the Birth, Enlightenment, and Death. In 1999, the UN General Assembly recognised the Day of Vesak internationally to pay homage to the Buddha for his timeless teachings while acknowledging the contribution of Buddhism to the spirituality of humanity over two and a half millennia. The 2024 UN Day of Vesak at Thien An Temple was a memorable event, filled with beautiful chanting by Monks and vibrant ceremonies and processions of Buddhist rituals and traditions. I extend my wholehearted gratitude to the Senior Venerable Thich Phuoc Tan and all the Venerable monks at Thien An Temple for their kind invitation. May the auspicious occasion bring everyone joy, peace, and happiness.
