In Nanden bukkyo (Buddhism that spread from India to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia), Jodo-e is collectively celebrated as Vesak festival on the full-moon day in May, along with Kanbutsu-e (ceremony held to commemorate Buddha's birthday) and Nehan-e (Memorial service for the anniversary of Buddha's Nirvana).
南伝仏教では、ウェーサク祭として、5月の満月の日に灌仏会、涅槃会と共に行われている。
