Wesak Day for me, like previous years, is celebrated at the Sentul Buddhist Temple. We normally get there by 11am and stay on till about 1 or 2pm.
The day started off with prayers at home as we have a small shrine for the lovely golden buddha statue that Grandpa bought many years ago. Flower arrangements and preparing for prayers was my task and I executed them flawlessly.
The temple was crowded just as it is every other year but always in an orderly manner, managed well by the committee and volunteers.
I received the blessings of the priest with an orange string to my wrist.
Remaining of the afternoon was spent at Aunt's place before we headed out for dinner. I tried the 'Thosai Tissue', a little too sweet for me but loved the presentation.
