SEAToday.com, Magelang-Puncak perayaan Hari Raya Waisak 2024 jatuh pada Kamis (23/5) dan dilangsungkan di Candi Borobudur, Magelang.

Kegiatan Waisak tahun ini di antaranya adalah sesi meditasi dan pelepasan lampion. Masyarakat umum diperkenankan ikut melepaskan lampion di lokasi tersebut.

Ketua Panitia Waisak Nasional tahun ini Hartati Murdaya menjelaskan, lampion yang dilepaskan terbuat dari bahan ramah lingkungan yang akan terurai seluruhnya setelah melayang di udara sehingga tidak akan menimbulkan limbah apapun.

Terdapat dua sesi pelepasan lampion, yaitu pukul 19.00-21.00 WIB dan pukul 21.30-22.30 WIB.

Tri Suci Waisak sendiri memperingati tiga peristiwa penting, yakni kelahiran Pangeran Siddharta, pencapaian Penerangan Agung Pangeran Siddharta yang membuatnya menjadi Buddha, serta wafatnya Buddha.
