On Parinirvana Day, Buddhists typically eat simple vegetarian meals as a way to honor the Buddha's teachings on compassion and non-violence towards all living beings. This may include dishes such as rice, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Some Buddhists may also choose to fast or participate in rituals such as making offerings at temples or engaging in meditation practices to commemorate the Buddha's passing into Nirvana.
