Vesak Full Moon Poya Day

The Vesak Full Moon Poya Day has been confirmed for May 30, sparking public discussions. This is an important Buddhist religious observance in Sri Lanka.

Only in Sri Lanka do we turn a lunar calendar date into a national soap opera, with more drama and debate than a Bollywood script meeting. Vesak might be about enlightenment, but clearly the public discussion is more about generating maximum confusion per full moon!
