Every year on the full moon in May (or June in leap years), the Indonesian Buddhist Vesak commemorates the Borobudur Temple. Vesak is celebrated as the day of birth, death and the time when Siddhartha Gautama obtain the highest wisdom to become the Buddha Shakyamuni. The third event is called Vesak Trisuci. Vesak ceremony focused on the three Buddhist temples by walking from the Mendut Pawon and ends at Borobudur.
On the night of Vesak, especially during the peak moment of the full moon, Buddhists gathered around Borobudur. At that time, Borobudur is believed to be the gathering place of supernatural power. According to belief, at the time of Vesak, the Buddha will appear in a look at the top of the mountain in the south.
