All About Bodhi Day 2023

Every year on December 8, Japan celebrates Bodhi Day. In the lunisolar calendar, it usually occurs on the eighth day of the twelfth month. The day, called Rohatsu in Japanese, was transferred to its present date by Emperor Meiji as part of Japan's westernisation process and the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. Many people will benefit from this day, which is spiritually energising.
