US president Joe Biden, White House extend warm wishes to Buddhists with second annual Vesak celebration
On Monday, a second annual Vesak celebration was held at the White House honoring the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha.
The White House shared a statement from US president Joe Biden on Monday and held its second annual celebration in recognition of Vesak, a Buddhist holiday that celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. The statement from President Biden reads:
Jill and I extend warm wishes to Buddhists in the United States and around the world as they celebrate Vesak. This sacred day is a time to reflect on the Buddha’s teachings, including the need to work for peace and justice, recognize our common humanity, respect and preserve the nature that surrounds us, and cultivate humility and compassion. The Buddha taught that we are but guests visiting this world, and for over 2,500 years, those who adhere to these teachings have enriched and strengthened this world we share. As we mark Vesak, we honor the American Buddhists who contribute so much to our country and advance our common values.

Apparently, Biden didn't know the meaning of that phrase, when he agreed with it.

How is that remark and video even relevent to the topic about a Buddhist Vesak celebration ?
Here's more about the phrase "Let's go Brandon" for those of us who like myself aren't from the USA.

Greetings,
Metta,
Paul.
Good question. I'm going to close this topic, as it's more "Buddhist news" than a discussion topic, and the OP covers pretty much everything that warrants being said about it.
