Wesak Day 09.05.09
Posted By: ascii, 05-10-2009, 03:28 AM

Celebrated around May by Buddhists which marks three momentous events in Buddha's life - his birthday, enlightenment, and achievement of Nirvana. The celebration begins at dawn when devotees gathering at the temples to meditate on the Eight Precepts. Donations, giving food to the needy, offerings of incense, joss sticks and prayers are carried out. The sutras are chanted in unison by monks in saffron robes. The celebration is highlighted by a candle procession.

The second shot is really great. A little spooky too. The smoke makes the image rather special. Thanks for sharing
