Sequence of Event:Significance of BUDDHA JAYANTI: Buddha Jayanti or 'Buddha Purnima' is celebrated largely in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. Lord Buddha (Gautam Buddha) is considered one of the greatest spiritual leaders the world has ever seen. Also known as the 'guiding light of Asia', his message for 'peace' captured the hearts and minds of millions of devotees from around the world. He is also revered as the 9th 'avatar' of Lord Vishnu himself. The founder of Buddhism, the religious and philosophical system that has produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia, Gautam Buddha's message initially spread from India and was soon assimilated into many foreign cultures. Traditionally, this annual festival is observed by Buddhists as 'Visakha'. Though it is known as the celebration of Buddha's birthday, it encompasses all the stages of his life, including his birth, enlightenment (Nirvana), and passing away from the mortal world (Parinirvana).
