WesakDay 09 in Malacca

Gosh~this event had past quite a long time and until now i only have time to edit and post up those photos. Each year during Wesak Day, he Malacca Buddhist Association will held a parade for worshipers to show their sincerity. A lot of Buddhist associations, Buddhist club representatives from schools, and some of the non-government association members will join in the parade.

This year the Wesak Day was held in 8thMay and i just reached Malacca so definitely i will join. After i had some lunch and got my equipment prepared, i leave my house together with my mum and sis to the temple and follow the bus to the venue.

It was quite jam as a lot of participants had reached and they are lining up and forming their group. The starting point will be at the SECK KIA EEN (SKE). At there you can see a lot of beautifully decorated cart that carry the Buddha statue. Those cart are decorated with some flowers, lights and sound and things that related to Buddhism.The open ceremony starts at around 6pm with some lion dances and the committee from SKE declare the opening.There are total of 25 patrols and the parade starts at around 7.30pm. I am glad that i can photograph some pictures that day and the parade was successfully done. It was very grand and beautiful. Next year will be the 10th anniversary and it will be a very grand. I hope by that time i will be fully equipted and be the photographer for that event. Amithaba...
