You are warmly invited to celebrate Buddha Day among friends at the MBC on Saturday 6th May. Buddha Day, also known as Wesak, is the most important day of the year on the Buddhist calendar and is celebrated by Buddhists around the world. It marks the historical moment approximately 2600 years ago when Siddhartha Gautama awakened to become the Buddha. Please join us to celebrate and have gratitude for the life of the Buddha whose Enlightenment revealed the potential for all human beings to experience freedom from suffering.

This year our theme is ‘The Four Sights and Going Forth Into The Spiritual Life’.
