Recurring observance days tied to lunar calendars in Theravāda contexts. Calculation and local practice vary.
A limited guide, not a live schedule
Buddhist calendar
Buddhist calendars differ by tradition, country and lunar calculation. Dharma Path does not currently publish verified observance dates or Profound Mystery event times.
Context before dates
The same name may not mean the same day.
This page deliberately avoids presenting unverified 2025–2026 dates. When local events are confirmed, times will be labelled in Australia/Melbourne and the publishing source will be named.
A major observance associated with the Buddha’s life. Date and emphasis vary across communities and jurisdictions.
In many Theravāda communities, an observance connected with the first teaching. Confirm the local calendar.
Rains-retreat timing and associated events are community-specific and should not be inferred from a generic calendar.
For planning
Verify before you travel.
No public hours, ceremonies or courses are confirmed here for Profound Mystery at Westcott Parade, Rockbank.
A future calendar entry should identify the organising community, location, timezone, access conditions, update date and a contact for confirmation.
Why lunar dates vary
Calendrical rules, local observation and civil-date conversion can differ. A date copied without its tradition and source can mislead.
