Why is it so significant? Because this day commemorates the three most momentous events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni — the birth of Prince Siddhartha Gautama\, his enlightenment as Buddha Shakyamuni and the occasion of his parinirvana. \nIn fact\, Wesak is so sacred that the merits from any virtuous deed performed on this day are multiplied 100\,000 times! So join us on Wesak for a full day of virtuous deeds and make 100\,000x merits with the whole family.  \n  \nEvent Details\n\nMay 4\, 2023 (Thu)\n8.30 am – 5.30 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\n\n  \nHighlights\nSpecial Wesak prayers | Buddha bathing | Pastor blessings | Car blessings | Animal liberation | Holy walk | Wesak offerings | Vegetarian vows | Refuge ceremony | Raffle draw | Children’s baptism | Wesak bazaar | Vegetarian food fair | Children’s activities & more! \n  \nProgramme\n\n8.30 am Refuge Ceremony*\n9.15 am Animal Liberation\n10.00 am Wesak Lama Chopa Tsok Puja\n11.45 am Lunch\n1.00 pm Car Blessing 1**\n1.30 pm Vegetarian Vows Ceremony**\n2.30 pm Children’s Baptism**\n3.30 pm Wesak Manjushri + Dorje Shugden Puja\n5.00 pm Car Blessing 2**\n5.30 pm Goodbye\n\n*Pre-registration required.\n**Pre-registration recommended\n  \n\nTo take refuge: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: FOC\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\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.\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.\n\n\n\nClosing date for Refuge registration: 5.00 pm (GMT +8) April 28\, 2023 (Fri).\nClosing date for other registrations: 5.00 pm (GMT +8) May 2\, 2023 (Tue).\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake the Eight Precepts for Wesak\nOur pastors will be giving the Eight Mahayana Precepts vows the night before Wesak.
