Māgha Pūja – Uposatha full-moon day

According to Theravāda tradition, the full-moon day of ‘Māgha’ month marks the spontaneous congregation of 1,250 Arahants (enlightened disciples) who came to see the Buddha at Rajagaha.  The Buddha used that occasion to teach the famous ‘summary’ of His Teachings*. ‘Māgha Pūja’ is thus an important anniversary for Buddhists, and is a public holiday in Theravadin countries such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar.  The faithful use this occasion to observe Eight Precepts, perform meritorious deeds, meditate, and congregate at temples for pūja and chanting.
