DHAKA, May 19 (Xinhua) -- In a befitting manner amid tight security, Buddhist community in Bangladesh Saturday peacefully celebrated "Buddha Purnima," one of their major Buddhist festivals that marks Gautama Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death.

Daylong programs included peace rally, hoisting of national and religious flags atop all monasteries, lighting of lamps, and recitation from the sacred verses by the monks.

Buddhists in Dhaka were seen to throng monasteries since Saturday morning. They brought out a colorful peace rally at the outset of the day and took part in various rituals and offered fruits, flowers and candles to statues of Lord Buddha who was born on a full moon day in 563 BC.

Special prayers were offered at all monasteries across the country, seeking peace, progress and prosperity of the nation.

On the occasion, Bangladesh President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted the Buddhist community.

In separate messages on the eve of the day, they wished peace and happiness for all.

Police are seen Saturday to stand guard outside all the monasteries in Dhaka.
