May- a month for mothers and buddhists

This is the month of May. A month of wisdom, peace and compassion. Also a month of love since Mother's Day is on the 2nd sunday of May. This year's Wesak day falls on the 19th of May. We are having lots of activities at the temple for the celebration. Food fair, book fair, prayers as usual. KbsTeens are organising a movie sharing night, wesak carolling and we are also joining the wesak parade. It is the day of buddha's birth, enlightenment and nirvana. All 3 events fall on the same day. To Lulu, Wesak day is a day of remembrance. To remember Buddha, his life, his teachings and his compassion for all living things. Then, to learn from him and one day becoming someone like him. Someone who is freed from suffering, with great wisdom and great compassion.

Wishing everyone a happy Wesak! May the light of buddha shines on us all. And Happy Mother's Day to all mums in the world!
