Asalha Bucha Day or the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 8th lunar month
Asalha Bucha Day is considered an important day in Buddhism because of the important event that occurred on the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 8th lunar month, which is Asalha Full Moon Day or the full moon day of Asalha month, 45 years before the Buddhist Era at Isipatana Deer Park, Varanasi, Magadha. It was the day that the Buddha gave his first sermon, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, to the five ascetics.

That is, the Buddha is someone who can show what he has enlightened to others and let them know and follow. It is considered that he has completed his mission of being the Buddha, the "Samma Sambuddha". For this reason, Asalha Bucha Day is also called "Dharma Day".
