However the leap month of a Lunar calender is determined by an almaniac (not every four or every two years basis). In such circumstances there is a possiblity of having double 2nd Lunar month or a double 4th lunar month and so on. So if there is a double 4th lunar month, then Wesak will be internationally accepted on the 4th lunar month on the 15th day (full moon) in the month of May of the universal calender and in most cases on the first 4th lunar month.
