Dharma Day or Dhamma Day is held on the full moon day of July. It commemorates Buddha’s first sermon, the Turning of the Wheel of the Dharma to a group of his disciples – the teaching of the Dharma and the beginning of the first Buddhist Sangha.
In celebration, Buddhists will listen to lectures on the Dharma, visit their monasteries to make offerings and pray. Many will meditate on Buddha’s writings and the tenants of Buddhism.
