wish to visit Wat Trum Jit Tavipassana in Ipoh . The Wesak day programme seems interesting
good to know of this. shall let ipoh kawan to know.
This is really a great event. It suppose to make our faith strengthen. Goodluck and enjoy this festival!
It means we will expect more visitors on May 10, paying for their respects and asking for more blessings. It would be a lovely day to visit. We never know.what Buddha will give to his devotees 🙂
Interesting. Will let my Ipoh’s friends know about this event 🙂
Yeah! Can’t wait for the holiday! XD
This –>” *All are welcome. For non-Muslims only” caught my attention. Is the event for those who want to see more about your religion? It’s not clear. I wanted to know more about buddha and his life but also to meet local people during the 2 weeks that I will be visiting.
Why an event for non-muslims only?
Am certainly looking forward to this festive celebration.
Ohmmm… the temple in Ipoh is so grand. I wish to visit there one day.
That should be interesting. Somehow I always find all religions and how they celebrate it fascinating.
mesti seronok kan acara macam ni…enjoy..
good to know! another option to celebrate Wesak Day 😀 need a getaway from city too.
Aww. for non-muslims only. I remember when I was a lil girl, I saw their parade on the streets.
