Do Buddhists celebrate Christmas and Easter?

Answer 1

As followers of the Buddha, there is no reason for them to celebrate the resurrection of Christ (Easter), a strictly Christian holy day. no i can still respect other people by participating within their religion in order of respect

Answer 2

Anybody who choses to have a party and give gifts around the 25th of December can be said to be "celebrating Christmas". Then again, celebrating Christmas as a non-religious event is really celebrating the Winter Solstice or Yule, traditions with much longer pedigree in human affairs.

If by celebrating Christmas you mean remembering the birth of the Christian's Jesus Christ with any sort of reverence - there is no reason that Buddhists or anyone except Christians would mark the day for that reason.

Many festivals overlap (like Easter and Vesak). It would be hard to claim that participants are celebrating anything but their own intentions.

Answer 3

The day the Buddha died is called parinirvana day in Mahayana Buddhism.

In Buddhism, parinirvana (Sanskrit: परिनिर्वाण parinirvāṇa; Pali: परिनिब्बान parinibbāna; Chinese: 般涅槃, bān niè pán) is the final nirvana, which occurs upon the death of the body of someone who has attained complete awakening (bodhi).
