Hey readers...Happy Belated Wesak Day to you!

wonder why I am still here in this time?

Because of the 老鼠粉... I'm so craving for it..

the pity thing is sue and me unable to wakeup early in the morning

and go to eat for our breakfast...6 times we failed to meet on 7am..

and we sleep like a pig! So, I'm trying not to sleep and ready for the delicious breakfast also in a great demand !(pictures will upload soon) ...

Yeah! So, I took some pictures yesterday and wanna to write about what is going on of the Wesak Day(Vesākha)..Sometimes informally called "Buddha's Birthday"..

As i know, Wesak Day is celebrated on around May by Buddhists which marks three momentous event in Buddha's life included his birthday, enlightenment(nirvāna), and the achievement of Nirvana which mean passing away(Parinirvāna) . This celebration begins at dawn when devotees gathering at the temples to mediate on the Eight Precepts and prayers are carried out.

I went there with my brother, my mom and her workers for the lunch..

All dishes taste good but the most i like is the soup they served..

After the lunch, my brother and me went to PBHP..

How to say? PBHP is a building and the society for my childhood activities..

when i was a kid, my mom will fetch me to PBHP for the Buddhist class every Sunday..

soon and slowly i became the head for an activity until graduated in my secondary education..

somehow, i got the feeling like sweet and warm when i stepped in to this building and walk around..

because of my childhood memories and friends there? LoL..I think so..

This is the new building in PBHP.....They are going to build another 3 stories building soon..

OMG ! They are so rich...

we called as "bathing the Buddha"..

For Buddhists, they believed that bathing Buddha can wash away a the dirty or bad of a person's karmas(body, speech and mind). Besides that, they pray for peace and well being and wholeheartedly beseech the empowerment of the Buddha. While bathing the image of the Buddha with auspicious water, they vow to cultivate themselves in attaining the purity of their 3 karmas as i mentioned in the past, present and future.
