Wesak Evening in Melaka







My family went to Seck Kia Eenh Temple in Melaka on Wesak evening. These are the scenes that we saw. It was a very spritual evening for devotees.

In the first photo, a chanting was held in front of the white bell-like structure, called stupa. In the stupa, is where the relics of Buddha is kept. After the chanting, a closing ceremony for this year's Wesak celebration was held. The crowd gathered at the flag posts to sing the Buddhist anthem, 'In Unity We Stand', Melaka state song, 'Melaka Maju Jaya' and lastly our national anthem, 'Negaraku'.

Wesak Eve at Brickfields Vihara in KL

A few avid photographers from my residential community went out for a photography outing to KL's Brickfields Vihara. This is one of the photos that I took. I am still learning on how to take bokeh shots. So glad that this turns out satisfactory!

Happy Wesak and wish you all a blessed weekend!
"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
