Final touches are being put to the Wesak Day float with a 3m-high Buddha statue at the Chempaka Buddhist Lodge at Taman SEA in Petaling Jaya.

Free meals, blessings, grand processions and donations have been scheduled at Buddhist temples in the spirit of Wesak Day, which is observed today by devotees.

In Petaling Jaya, Chempaka Buddhist Lodge president Lawrence Phuah, 64, said its centre was expecting no fewer than 10,000 devotees to take part in Wesak Day celebrations, which began yesterday with chanting and blessings by the monks at their shrine hall.
