Wesak day
Tuesday, May 01, 2007
Today is Wesak Day. If you don't know what is Wesak Day, it's the day where Buddhists all over the world gather and pay homage to the Lord Buddha. Wesak Day is significant to the Buddhists as it is the birth day, enlightenment day and also the day that he left the world.
What we do? Normally we'll start off by cleaning the altar at home, or if you prefer to go to temple, clean Buddha images. Offerings of fruits are normally offered too during Wesak Day. In some places, the Buddhists pledged to be vegetarian for the day to avoid "killing" to get meat to eat.
As for us, we clean up the altar at our house, bought some fruits and make offerings at the altar itself. Later tonight will go for prayers at the temple. Is it a good day to do paid posts today? :) April has just ended, and i have new target for May :)
