Vesak Bochea is one of the major festivals in Buddhism to commemorate the Buddha for three major events: the day of his birth, enlightenment, and Nirvana, which occurs repeatedly on the full moon day. Buddhists, both laity and priests, always worship with the belief that it is a great merit on the full moon day of the month of Pisak. 

Meak Bochea, an annual Buddhist festival observed by followers in Cambodia and around the world, commemorates the spontaneous gathering of monks to receive teachings from the Buddha. The festival – the second most important after Vesak and celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month – honours moral discipline and spiritual practice to end dukkha, or suffering.
