Wat Pa of Arizona - Buddhist Temple of Arizona

Magha Puja Day

Please Join us on Magha Puja Day, which marks the four auspicious occasions that happened nine months after the Enlightenment of the Buddha.

1. There were 1,250 Arahata, that came to see the Buddha that evening without any schedule.
2. All of them were Arhantas, the Enlightened One, and all of them were ordained by the Buddha himself.
3. The Buddha gave those Arhantas principles of the Buddhism, called "The ovadhapatimokha". Those principles are: - To cease from all evil,- To do what is good,- To cleanse one's mind;
4. it was the full-moon day.
