It’s so significant because this day commemorates three momentous events in Buddha’s life — his birth\, enlightenment and parinirvana. \nIn the Tibetan tradition\, Wesak is akin to the holy day of Saga Dawa Duchen. Tibetan Buddhists believe that on this day\, the merits of our actions are hugely increased by 100\,000 times! \nThat’s why Wesak is a time for us to make extra efforts to practice more generosity\, virtue\, compassion\, better temperament\, and conduct\, in order to accumulate greater merits. \nSo join us on Wesak for a full day of virtuous deeds and make 100\,000x merits with the whole family. \n  \nSaving lives through animal liberation is a virtuous way to start Wesak Day.\n  \n\n\nEvent Details\nWesak Eve 8 Precepts Ceremony\n\nMay 11\, 2025 (Sun)\n9.00 pm (GMT +8)\nKechara House (in-person) or Zoom (online)\n\nAll Buddhists are encouraged to observe these precepts for a 24-hour period on Buddhist holidays to collect a tremendous amount of merits.\n  \nWesak Day Festival\n\nMay 12\, 2025 (Mon)\n8.30 am – 6.30 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\n\n  \nHighlights\nSpecial Wesak prayers | Buddha bathing | Sangha blessings | Car blessings | Animal liberation | Holy walk | Wesak offerings | Refuge ceremony | 8 Precepts | Vegetarian vows | Children’s baptism | Children’s activities | Vegetarian food fair & bazaar | Blood donation & more! \n  \n\n\nWesak Day Programme\n\n8.30 am Refuge Ceremony *\n9.00 am Animal Liberation\n10.00 am Wesak Lama Chopa Puja\n11.45 am Lunch\n1.00 pm Vegetarian Vows Ceremony **\n2.30 pm Children’s Baptism *\n3.30 pm Wesak Heart Sutra Puja\n3.30 pm Car Blessing **\n4.30 pm Tea Break\n5.30 pm Wesak Walk\n6.30 pm Goodbye\n\n*RSVP required.\n**RSVP recommended.\n  \n\n\n\nTo take refuge: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: FOC\nRegistration closes: May 7 (Wed)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\nTo register a child for Buddhist Baptism:\n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: RM80 (members)\, RM100 (non -members)\nFee includes children’s prayer book\, baptism certificate\, flower offerings\, pastor service.\nRegistration closes: May 7 (Wed)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\nTo take the Eight Precepts:\n\nWatch this video then register here.\nDownload the prayers in advance if you are joining the ceremony online.\nFee: FOC\nRegistration closes: May 10 (Sat)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\nTo take vegetarian vows:\n\nWatch this video then register here.\nDownload the prayers in advance if you are joining the ceremony online.\nFee: FOC\nRegistration closes: May 10 (Sat)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\nTo have your car blessed:\n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: Free (members)\, RM68 (non-members)\nFee includes Dorje Shugden car sticker\, blessed khata\, pastor service.\nRegistration closes: May 10 (Sat)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\n\n  \nOne of the highlights of Wesak is the children’s baptism ceremony.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nPerforming virtuous deeds on Wesak Day multiplies the merits we make by a hundred thousand times!\n  \n\n\nWesak Offerings\nDedicate special prayers and oceans of merits with our Wesak offering bundles.
