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

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. 🌸🕯️ .

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. Wishing everyone a peaceful and enlightening Vesak Day!

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?

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

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 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

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.

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.

I spent it with family at home, just a quiet time together. We dont visit temples as we are not buddhists and definitely not to join others across the cross way to malaysia[LOL]
