Wesak Day Celebration in Malacca

Wesak Day is one of the holiest days for Buddhists across the world, an opportunity for all followers to come together and celebrate not only the Buddha's birthday, but also his enlightenment and achievement of Nirvana.

On Wesak eve, we were invited by my cousin-in-law to participate in one of the wesak activities in Melaka where animals are set free. We have released the gold fishes and tortoises to the Durian Tunggal Reservoir. My boy is so fortunate that he able to join such a meaningful activity at the age of one. In fact, this is also our first time joining this kind of event.





On Wesak Day, we were doing some form of praying in a temple at Melaka Baru. There was also a interesting session where we needed to bath the little Buddha statue to commemorate his birth.



Besides praying, we have also never forget to give donation for the victims of the recent natural disasters in Sichuan, China.

This is the best ever Wesak Day for my family. On this special day, I would like to take this opportunity to with all the Buddhists "A Happy Wesak Day" with many happy returns and loving-kindness!
