MBMC has organized a few programs at Wesak Day. Beside a meaningful and mindful Wesak Day's retreat, we have Pūjā at the Bodhi tree, Dhamma school students' chanting competition, lunch dāna to Sangha and yogis and blood donation.
The offered flowers are fresh, fragrance and beauty which are impermanent.
Fresh and beautiful flowers will soon become withered, scentless and discoloured.
This reminds Buddhist of the Buddha's teaching that the impermanence of things.
When incense is lit, its fragrance spreads.
Incense symbolizes the fragrance of pure moral conduct.
This reminds Buddhist to cultivate good conduct.
At the early morning, a Buddhist purposely drop by to offer incense.
After Buddha Pūjā ceremony, Sayadaw leads us to chant "Reflection on the Attributes of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha" and round the Bodhi tree and the old temple. After that, students offer the flowers and water the Bodhi tree to end the program.
