GARDEN WESAK (21 & 22 May 2024)

21 May, Tuesday – Wesak Eve @ 8.00pm – 10.00pm
22 May, Wednesday – Wesak Day @ 9.00am – 2.00pm
Celebrate Garden Wesak And Connect With The Buddha’s Teachings In Nature!

Please join us in celebrating the birth, enlightenment and passing away of the Buddha in a beautiful garden setting. As we honor the life and teachings of the Buddha and His deep connection to nature, we also pay tribute to the Bodhi Tree, where He attained Enlightenment.

The Bodhi Tree is a symbol of strength, resilience and spiritual awakening. As we offer water to the Bodhi Tree, we express our gratitude for its role in the Buddha’s Enlightenment and our commitment to preserving and protecting the natural environment.

We invite you to join our Garden Wesak 2024 at KMBS in offering water to the Bodhi Tree and connecting with the Buddha’s teaching in a meaningful way. As you offer water, you can reflect on the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion also your spiritual journey.

Don’t miss this unique Garden Wesak! Come and immerse in this natural green environment to deepen our spiritual practice and cultivate a greater sense of peace and harmony.

Wesak Light & Flower Offering
Let us make an offering of light and flowers on this auspicious day for our well-being and happiness. The offering of light symbolizes wisdom that dispels the darkness of ignorance. The offering of flowers represents impermanence as the fragrance and beauty of the flowers will become scentless and withered. May our minds be bright, and our hearts constantly wish for the well-being of all sentient beings. May our wholesome deeds be the source of boundless blessings to ourselves and others!

Please submit the names of those who wish to make an offering of light (any amount) and flower (RM30) here:
