| Il Poya is commemorated on the full moon day of November. Sending missionaries for the first time for the propagation of Buddhism, conversion of three Kassapa brothers, “Devarohanaya” or descending from the celestial world, and the attainment of Arahant Sariputta’s parinibbana are significant events that had taken place on this full moon poya day. On this Poya day, Maithree Bodhisattva received vivarana (assurance) of becoming a Buddha. Buddhist monks conclude the three-month rain retreat of Vas on Il Poya day. |
