23 May vesak day

23 MAY - VESAK DAY

some of you'all might be wondering what is vesak day, vesak day is the  date of Vesākha varies according to the various lunar calendars used in different traditions. In Theravada countries following the Buddhist calendar, it falls on a full moon Uposatha day, typically in the 5th or 6th lunar month. Vesākha Day in China and Korea is on the eighth of the four month in the Chinese lunar calendar.  So basically , on vesak day my family and I went to a temple called  GUANG MING SHAN  in bishan to pray , yeah , they also have this event call " 3 step one bow" in the temple which I used to participate when I was a child, but now days im just too lazy or tired to participate in the event. to que to do the "3 step one bow" thing , you have to que up up to 3 hours to get "number tag" and the "3 step one bow"  its self will take around 1-2 hour.
