KOMPAS/FERGANATA INDRA RIATMOKO

Monks fetch water from Umbul Jumprit in Ngadirejo district, Temanggung, Central Java, on Thursday (16/5/2019). The water was then taken to Mendut temple in Magelang, where it will be used for a Waisak (Buddha’s Day of Enlightenment) ceremony at the Borobudur temple on Sunday.

The holy day of Waisak must be founded upon the glory of the here and now. The three sanctified events in the life of Siddharta Gautama reflect this glory.

The three sanctified events occurred on the day of the grand full moon, namely Siddharta Gautama’s birth in 623 BC, his enlightenment in 588 BC and his death in 543 BC. The three sanctified events reflect the glory life of the Buddha. This glory was not merely a hope for the future but was realized when Buddha carried out his holy mission.
