The result of the move request was: moved to Vesak. Favonian ( talk) 21:19, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Vesākha → Vesak – The page was previously moved from Vesak to Vesākha based on the argument that there is no widely-accepted English spelling for the name. However, the online Macmillan Dictionary does has an entry for Vesak, [1] and the United Nations resolution on the international recognition of the day of Vesak also uses that spelling. [2] Google book search returns over 8,000 hits for Vesak, versus one for Vesākha. I suggest that the article be renamed back to Vesak, since it is the overwhelmingly predominant spelling of the term in English texts. Paul_012 ( talk) 18:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Buddhist New Year redirects to Wesak. Can somebody please fix this? Wesak is not and has never been the Buddhist New Year in any country.
I won't cite sources but am a certified Buddhist tracer who has studied at the feet of over 80 of the world's most prominent Buddhist teachers of all traditions for over 43 years. I am a source. But if you check the pages for Songkran, Tet and Losar, you will find Vesak is not the New Year.
Thanks Folks!

There is a lot of information in this article about East Asian celebrations of Buddha's Birthday. One gets the impression that the latter and Vesak are more or less identical. This article should make it more obvious that there is another article about Buddha's Birthday. Also, Tibetan Wesak seems to celebrate the Buddha's enlightenment. 81.109.205.167 ( talk) 17:26, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

http://dharmafarer.org/wordpress/ should point to http://www.themindingcentre.org/dharmafarer. This might be needed else where also hence it might be good to get a bot to do the URL change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirinath ( talk • contribs) 15:01, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Could someone please reinstate the original introduction before an IP address removed large pieces of information despite the fact that were sources? Vesak ( Pali: Vesākha, Sanskrit: Vaiśākha), also known as Buddha Purnima and Buddha Day, is a holiday traditionally observed by Buddhists and some Hindus on different days in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Tibet, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia and the Philippines and in China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam as " Buddha's Birthday" as well as in other parts of the world. [1] [2] The festival commemorates the birth, enlightenment ( Buddhahood), and death ( Parinirvāna) of Gautama Buddha in the Theravada or southern tradition.

International Day of Vesak doesn't have much material and just seems to be about UN/international recognition of Vesak as a holiday and cultural festival. I'd suggest merging it into this article as a section on 'International Recognition'. -- Spasemunki ( talk) 03:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
Under Celebration, I am surprised there is no "In Thailand" paragraph under the sub-heading of "In South East Asia". I realise details of Thai Vesak day are elswhere, but it stands out by it's absence on this page. Sorry if I'm being pedantantic.
