Buddhist monks pray at the Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple during a ceremony to commemorate Makha Bucha Day outside Bangkok, Thailand on February 19, 2018. Makha Bucha or Magha Puja, also known as the day of the Fourfold Assembly, is one of Buddhism's holiest days, celebrated on the full moon night of the third lunar month to commemorate the day that Lord Buddha gave the first sermon on the essence of Buddhism to his ordained 1,250 enlightened monks, who all assembled spontaneously, without an appointment.
