Vesak Day Celebration

Today i'll blog about how i spend my Vesak Day...

Went to this Temple is Sengkang... Got free Vegteraian Bee Hoon.. (Munch 2 Plates) Free Ice Cream... and Free Soya Milk Drink.. Had my stomach filled before heading into the temple to pray.. I pray for my career... and for my family... Then queue up to Bath for "Little Buddha".... After was served more ice cream... Temple did a good choice by serving so many ice cream during the hot weather...

Went to Beach Rd, Army Market to buy some camping stuffs... Brought some sulphur, 2 sleeping bags, Mosquitoes Coil and Light Stick.. Well some of the stuffs i still have it at home.. so nothign much to buy.. Take a short break for the famous Belgium Waffle... Now since the BBQ pit is fully booked at the Pasir Ris Park.. and bring own pit is a bit hassle.. so i decided to cook some simple food... Now got to plan and think of some nice outdoor Menu fit for camping...

Afternoon, we head to another temple called "ABC" (Amitaba Buddhist Center).. It is like stepping into Tibet... Lamas giving preaching on Buddhism teaching.. And many stalls selling Tibet and Nepal stuffs, like Preyer wheels, singing bowl etc... And we did another round of bathing "Little Buddha", i explain the significant of bathing "little Buddha" to Marcus and my wife taught him how to do it... I also pray to the Green Tara Buddhisattva, to grant my wishes to come true...

It was a hot and tiring Vesak day.. But it was nothing comparing to the hardship Buddha went through while searching for the "Truth" before gaining enlightenment.
