Vesak Day

Today is Vesak day. A day celebrated by Buddhists to remember the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and passing (Parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha. A few days back, Marcus and I happened to passed by the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum in Chinatown and decided to pop in for a look. Apparently, they are in a midst of preparation for Vesak Day. Quite a grand place. Some photos to share...

Got $12k to spare, you can adopt one of these exhibits. There is a whole range of Buddhist-related artifacts up for adoption. Apparently, I don't have that type of money to spare but i did donate a significant sum.
