How Do You Celebrate Vesak Day?

How would you spend Vesak Day? Praying, eating vegetarian, bathing the Buddha, or enjoying nature with a picnic?

Travel to Betong Thailand
I visited a temple for blessings.  Hope to have a better days ahead, safe for everyone, and good health for my family members.. After that, enjoyed a 5km run to maintain my fitness

I read a lot on the meaning of Vesak Day. So on this day, I reflect on one’s self progress in life nd just be in the present moment!
yes, fell sick and spent the day stoned at home 😅

My family went to Kong Meng San Monastery It was very vibrant and we were very happy to be there. Here is a picture of the celebration . Happy Vesak Day! 🌕🙏 May this sacred occasion inspire us all to embrace simplicity, humility, and compassion. Let us walk the path of kindness, shedding ego and materialism. May all our hearts radiate love and understanding, fostering harmony and peace in our lives and the world. 🕊️✨ As Vesak celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Gautama Buddha. On this day, let us reflect on his teachings, striving to live with mindfulness, empathy, and selflessness. May our actions be a beacon of light, illuminating the way for others. 🌸🕯️ .

🐯 Stock markets not working on Vesak Day so all of us can sleep late and wake up late. Bath my tiger and we went to pray at temple for blessings and good fortune.. Temples hold bathing ceremonies over Buddha statues. We donated some money and eat vegetarian meals. After that my tiger friend went jalan jalan at Tiger and Leopard Villa. 😊Thanks @Tiger_SG @icycrystal

To my Tiger friends in Singapore, Space Rocket, Shyon, koolgal, and more, on Vesak Day, may joy abound, with love and peace all around. Temples bright with hope and light, Buddha’s blessings shining bright. If I were there, I’d surely stray, to Botanic Gardens for the day. Amidst the blooms, where spirits mend, reflections on life's journey blend. Happy Vesak, my dear friends, may compassion and joy never end. Have a wonderful day, come what may. @SPACE ROCKET @Shyon @koolgal

If I were in amazing Singapore, The Botanic Gardens I’d explore. Amidst the blooms and verdant scenes, I’d find my peace where nature leans. Vesak Day Wishes While I can’t celebrate Vesak Day in the traditional way, if I were in Singapore, I’d likely visit the Botanic Gardens, taking in the natural beauty and enjoying a peaceful picnic. Spending time with friends or family would make the day even more special. @SPACE ROCKET @Shyon @koolgal

Vesak Day Wishes I’m in New Zealand, so Vesak Day isn’t a holiday for me, but I wish my Tiger friends a joyful day celebrating with friends and family. Special shoutout to my good mates @SPACE ROCKET @Shyon @koolgal

Went to Bright Hill Temple to perform 3 steps 1 bow at 2.30am. This year it took me 1 hrs 50mins to complete the process. 5mins longer than last year [Cry]. After that, can feel the pain on my legs when climbing the stairs. Had vegetarian breakfast and went home to sleep. Slept till 11.55am to cook lunch. Then back to sleep at 2pm and woke up at 3.15pm to prepare tea.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$   A good way to celebrate any occasion is always to invest in a well diversified low cost ETF.  S&P 500 Real Total Returns since 1871 Chart includes dividends and adjusts for inflation US Stock market is a wealth builder for patient long-term investors It works best for anyone willing to invest for at least a couple of decades however The upward bias is undisputable

I'm not Buddhist, therefore not celebrating specially on Vesak day, but I still took a break for today [Cool] [Cool] [Cool]. Went to a shop to eat my Malaysia hometown food with my love one. Not 100% authentic but good enough to cure my cravings. Great day and looking forward to the last 2 working days onwards for this week! @TigerGPT Do you recognize the food in attachment?

Personally, it is just another common day. The midweek holiday has always been a thorn between hard places; one could not enjoy it to the fullest as the next day is a working day unless official leaves have already been applied before or after it, thereby making a getaway trip possible. I would simply just chill at home, either catching up on shows or doing chores. As mentioned, it is just another mundane day.
