This Vesak celebration commemorates three important events in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, namely his birth, enlightenment, and death. Vesak Day is one of the spiritual moments that emphasizes the value of wisdom, compassion, and peace in living life.
Vesak values can be a reflection in the daily lives of the academic community, especially in building self-awareness, emotional control, and empathetic attitudes in the academic environment. The spirit of compassion can also be interpreted as an encouragement to respect each other, collaborate, and create a harmonious academic atmosphere.
Through the commemoration of Vesak Day, it is hoped that the entire academic community can continue to foster inner calm, clarity of thinking, and wisdom in making decisions. Hopefully the spirit of Vesak will bring peace, balance, and goodness to the academic community and the wider community.
