Tommrrow is Buddha Purnima -- the most sacred day in the Buddhists regard every full moon as sacred by the full moon of the months between April - May is very special significance because Buddha was born, attained enlightenment, and attained Nirvana when he died on this day. It is this strange, three fold coincidence that makes Buddha Purnima to be very important.

Buddha often talked about what friendship is and what a good friend is supposed to be in his teachings. He also said, "An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." A good friend gives a kind of happiness by knowing the fact that we are all connected inside. That's what a good friend is really all about.

A true friend helps us when we're in need. They protect us. A good friend is a refuge in life. A friend who is constantly there no matter we're facing happiness or sorrow or trouble in our lives. We share secrets in friendship and the friend will not betray our secrets - in fact, good friends warn us when we're treading on dangerous roads. This sort of a friend is a gift.
