Navam (Feburary) Full Moon Poya Day has many historical significances. Lord Buddha appointed the Arahants Maha Sariputta and Maha Moggallana as his chief disciples. Also, on this day, twenty years after his enlightenment, the Buddha decided to introduce the Vinaya Code for the Bhikkhu Sangha for their well-being. It was on this day that the Buddha predetermined that he would pass away after three months and he told Mara of his decision.
