US president Joe Biden, White House extend warm wishes to Buddhists with second annual Vesak... On Monday, a Vesak celebration honoring the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha was held at the White House.

"For this reason, Buddhism is not a religion of mere faith and worship but a system of education. To study the Dharma is to sit at the Buddha's feet and learn the principles that will lead to the highest happiness and freedom. We should study the Dharma with a twofold purpose in mind: first, how to live a life that will be truly beneficial to ourselves, a life that will give us deep satisfaction; and second, how to contribute effectively to the good of others, how to be a source of blessings for humankind."
"Sitting at the Buddha's Feet" Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi
