Happy Vesak Festival
Tomorrow is Vesak Poya Day. Buddhists in the world celebrate Birth, Enlightenment and Passing away of Gauthama Budda. In Sri Lanka, Vesak can be considered as both a religious and cultural festival. Many religious activities are organized during this period. Apart from Sri Lanka, many Asian countries including India, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and Nepal celebrate Vesak.
Making colorful lanterns called Vesak Koodu is part of celebration. I have planned to make a few when I go home today. Hmm... this time it will be more enjoyable making Vesak Koodu with my two and half years old son :-)
I wish you a happy and peaceful Vesak Festival
