Vesak Friday, May 8, 2009

Wesak being one of the most important days for Buddhists, my friends and I had a coffee Alms giving (dansala) for the 7th consecative year. We offered free coffee to travelers who were on their way to watch the Wesak glory in the city. Usually it rains every Wesak day. Drinking a hot coffee made everyone fresh and warm to make there way to see the pandols.

After finishing the Alms giving process. We too went into the city too see Wesak at its glory. We walked for 5.32miles on foot. The route we took is shown here. We were so full when we arrived home after attending to other Alms Giving places put together by other Buddhists.
