With great joy and reverence, we warmly invite you to join us for the 2070th Buddha Jayanti Celebration at the Buddhist Community Centre UK, Empire Hall, Aldershot, on this auspicious day: Friday, 1st May 2026.Buddha Jayanti—also known as Buddha Purnima or Vesak—marks a sacred triple occasion in the life of Gautama Buddha: his birth, enlightenment (nirvana), and passing away (parinirvana). It is the most significant day in the Buddhist calendar and a powerful reminder of the Buddha’s timeless teachings on compassion, peace, and the path to inner awakening.
We are deeply honoured to announce that Venerable Khenpo Sangay Phuntshok Sherpa will grace this special occasion. As part of the programme, Venerable Khenpo will bestow the Amitāyus Long Life Empowerment, a rare and precious blessing for health, longevity, and spiritual wellbeing.
As we gather in harmony and reflection, we join millions around the world in honouring the legacy of a great spiritual teacher who continues to inspire humanity. Through prayers, meditation, cultural performances, and acts of kindness, we celebrate not just a historical figure, but a philosophy that speaks to our shared humanity.
Let this day be a time for reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment to living with mindfulness and compassion.
Once again, a warm welcome to each and every one of you—may this Buddha Jayanti bring peace, joy, and lasting blessings to all.
