Waisak Day Commemoration

On this sacred day of Waisak, we join our Buddhist brothers and sisters in honoring the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Siddhartha Gautama—the Buddha. Waisak is a time for deep reflection, compassion, and peace. It reminds us of the timeless values taught by the Buddha: the path to wisdom, the practice of kindness, and the pursuit of inner freedom from suffering.

As we light lanterns and offer prayers, let us also illuminate our hearts with understanding, patience, and love toward all beings. May this day bring serenity to our minds and harmony to our communities. In these moments of togetherness, may we all commit ourselves to living more mindfully, truthfully, and peacefully.

Selamat Hari Raya Waisak 2569 BE.
May all beings be happy.
