Happy Wesak

This afternoon we made our way to the Sri-Lanka Buddhist Temple located in Sentul. Traffic was crawling but thanks to the volunteer force Rela, getting a parking was relatively easy.
Steady flow of devotees were managed very well by the youth committee who helped coordinate at key areas within the temple. We had no problem at all making our offerings.
This temple has been our yearly destination for as long as I can remember and stepping inside instantly creates this tranquility within. The teachings of Buddhism is all around.
 
Finding such orderly conduct in some temples can be questionable for failed management in performing their duties. No offence, it's just an observation from my limited experience.
The money tree was an interesting way to get people to donate for a good cause as the temple conducts lots of charitable work for the under privileged.
At the time of leaving, they were gearing up for the evening procession. The floats were looking absolutely spellbinding.
