Dharma College

On behalf of Dharma, Executive Director Wangmo Dixey did it again! For the fifth time, we gathered at the White House to celebrate the sacred occasion of Vesak.

Buddhist leaders representing the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions traveled from across the United States to join together in this meaningful observance. It was a beautiful and deeply moving day dedicated to prayers for world peace, compassion, and inner harmony.

Our heartfelt gratitude to the White House Faith Office for bringing together this special gathering and for recognizing the importance of Vesak as a time of reflection, wisdom, and loving-kindness.

On behalf of the International Buddhist Association of America, we wish everyone around the world a joyful and peaceful Vesak.
May the light of the Buddha's wisdom continue to inspire understanding, compassion, and peace for all beings.
