Wesak Day Prayers 2023

 




Delivering Wesak Divine Message

It was a joyous morning at the Centre on Thursday, 4th May with about 40 devotees turning up for our Wesak Day prayers at the Centre.  After the prayers, devotees lined up to bathe the small statue of the Lord Buddha.

After the death of the Buddha, it became a tradition to bathe the statue of Buddha to commemorate his birth.  It symbolizes the cleansing of our body, speech and thoughts to eradicate anger, greed and ignorance in order to purify our minds to cultivate merits and wisdom.

May the teachings of the Lord Buddha remove the veil of ignorance from our lives and guide us on the path to Peace and Enlightenment.
