Sangha day, also Fourfold Assembly or Magha Puja Day, is the second most important Buddhist Festival. It celebrates the Sangha or the Buddhist followers and community. Sangha day is a commemoration of the spontaneous enlightenment of 1,300 monks at Buddhas Veluvana Vihara. It was here the Buddha gave his first sermon, the rules of monastic order. On Sangha Day people may exchange gifts, and celebrate the community they have created. Generally, the buddhists gathered will chant, meditate and show their everlasting commitment to Buddhism.
