Thailand Combines Buddhist Tradition with Environmentalism for Visakha Bucha Day
As Visakha Bucha Day approaches, Buddhists prepare to honor the Lord Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and attainment of Nibbana. This year, a new initiative replaces traditional incense and candles with tree seedlings during the wian tian ceremony, promoting environmentalism. The Tree for Dhamma Foundation, along with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and partners, aims to plant over 20,000 trees in Bangkok.
