Greater Noida, India, September 16, 2023 – The Gautam Buddha University (GBU) in collaboration with International Buddhist Confederation (IBC), is proud to announce the celebration of the International Abhidhamma Divas, marking the descent of the Buddha from the celestial realm. This auspicious event is scheduled to take place on the full moon day of Śharada Pūrṇimā, October 28, 2023, at the GBU campus in Greater Noida.
