Buddhist temples preparing for Wesak


Seeking enlightenment: Vijaya Samarawickrama, affectionately known as Uncle Vijaya, giving a lecture on the ‘True Significance of Wesak’ in Sri Serdang last year.

KUALA LUMPUR: Buddhist temples across the country are making preparations to welcome throngs of devotees to celebrate Wesak Day.

Falling on May 3 this year, most Buddhists understand it to be a day marking the birth, enlightenment and the death of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, but to Sandy Lim Wan Phei, Wesak means much more than that.
