Overview
Vesakh 2025 was celebrated at the Buddhist House Berlin-Frohnau in May. The celebration followed the established format with morning puja, lectures, midday dana, candle ceremony at dusk, and communal closing meditation. As every year, non-Buddhists were also warmly welcomed.
The Vesakh Festival 2025 once again attracted guests from the Berlin Buddhist community, as well as many Frohnau neighbors and interested visitors from all over the city, to the traditional premises on Edelhofdamm. The monks of the Forest Hermitage guided the day, which commemorated the birth, enlightenment, and Parinibbana of the Buddha.
The highlight of the celebration, as every year, was the evening candle ceremony around the pagoda, followed by a communal closing meditation in the temple hall.
