In the yogic culture, Buddha Purnima is a very significant day in any spiritual aspirant’s life. Buddha Purnima, is seen as Buddha’s day of enlightenment. Buddha Purnima is the full moon day that commemorates the birth, enlightenment and attainment of Mahasamadhi by Gauttam Buddha. We find that Buddha's teachings are more relevant today than that they were at the time he preached people and his followers. Buddha tried to explain people that all the sufferings of this world are simply because of our attachment to these things. It is our desires that lead us to the sufferings and so he gave the eight fold path to follow for humans. Right belief, right intention, right living, right conduct, right word, right thinking, right efforts and right meditation are his eight fold path. He said that if anyone follows this path, he will be away from the common sufferings of life and living. He made people understand the real balance between extravagance and asceticism as well as luxury and simplicity. Once you go through the preaching of Lord Buddha you will find they are extremely useful in the present day life. It gives complete peace of mind and helps any person have peace and harmony in life. The main thing is that people need to purify their minds and thoughts today and if this happens, it will bring peace and harmony in the entire world.
