Wesak Day, a sacred occasion in Buddhism, is imbued with tradition and symbolism, among which the iconic "Wesak Lantern" (Ata-pattama) holds a central place. Crafted in the shape of an octagon and adorned with intricate designs, this lantern is more than mere decoration—it encapsulates profound Buddhist teachings.
- Each of the 4 main sides of the lantern represents the 4 Noble Truths
- The 8 triangles symbolize the Noble Eightfold paths
- The open top and bottom represent the entry into life (birth) and exit from life (death).
- While the delicate frills symbolize the vicissitudes of life—the ups and downs, happiness and sadness—that characterize the human experience.
