Annual Routine Visit to Buddhist Monastery On Vesak Day

Every year, I will make it a point to visit the Bright Hill Buddhist Monastery with my family in Singapore on Vesak Day, we pray for the whole family for Great Health and Great Wealth. We have been observing the vegetarian meal intake on the 1st and 15th of lunar month, we prepare our own meals, eating vegetarian not on long term will help us to balance our body nutrients intake as well as mind development. Something we notice after practising this for many years, we find that we are able to focus and also our mind can be free from cluttered thoughts. I have shared this with friends, peers and relatives, glad to see some of them starting to appreciate the benefit of having vegetarian meals occasionally. Hope this can inspire some of fellow tigers to look at the benefit of occasionally vege

Happy Vesak Day! Today is Vesak Day, a public holiday celebrated by Buddhists around the world to commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. It is a day of reflection, meditation, and acts of kindness. People celebrate by visiting temples, engaging in charitable activities, and spending time with family and friends to honor the teachings of Buddha. In the spirit of Vesak Day, I will reflect on the values of wisdom and compassion, reflect the principles of compassion, wisdom, and mindful living, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for all.
