Vesak

Posted by Justin (Singapore, Singapore) on 21 June 2007 in Miscellaneous.

This was in the main hall of a Buddhist Temple that's situated on top of a hill. Not a very tall hill but I guess it would make a good story if this were at the top of a mountain and devotees would brave the treacherous climb to make their prayers, but that isn't true. Would be a good story though.

Anyway, this was taken on Vesak Day, which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, Nirvana and death of Buddha (Got that off Wiki), before the main hall was filled with devotees.
