00:02Worshippers quietly lit incense, offered flowers and performed prayers at the Thai Buddhist Chetawan Temple on Sunday.
00:08They marked Wesak Day with reflection, gratitude and renewed spiritual purpose.
00:14Some shared how their journey of discovering Wesak led them to develop a deeper spiritual connection with the festival.
00:20Every year on Wesak Day I will visit the temple.
00:23In 2017 when I started my university, I studied tourism and I found out that Wesak Day is more comfortable
00:34with my religion
00:35because we are Hindu, even Hindu and Buddha are close.
00:39So from that only I started, I googled search what is the Wesak Day is important to.
00:45So from that only I told to my parents why not we try Wesak Day, we go and visit the
00:51temple.
00:54Previously, I was really busy with studying and also working.
00:58And I didn't have time to go to the temple.
01:02Although actually I'm from Kelantan, so there's a lot of what there, right?
01:05Supposedly I should go but then I'm always really into studying so I didn't manage to go too.
01:10From far away, I actually see this temple for a long time ago and I really wanted to visit here.
01:16Today just happened to be a long weekend so I just happened to come here and feel like I want
01:21to reconnect with my roots again.
01:22Other devotees described Wesak Day as a time to let go of life's burdens and seek inner peace.
01:28For 21 years, I just started to come back to Resale Day.
01:34Now my age is 56.
01:36Until now I came back to Resale Day.
01:38When I had 3 injuries, I had 3 injuries.
01:42Whatever problems, I came back to here, it was a little bit wet.
01:46My body was a little bit wet.
01:48I didn't remember anything.
01:50It was a little bit better.
01:51I went to a different temple and this year we decided to come back again because I came here, you
01:57know, a few years before that.
01:59I think this one is more crowded because it's like a bigger temple.
02:03Usually the one I went is like, it's the one near Semenye where it's like uphill and then it's like
02:07smaller scale.
02:08So this one you get more vibes, you have like this donation booth, you have like people walking around.
02:15It's definitely different vibes.
02:29I wish everyone a happy Resale Day.
02:33Thank you, happy Resale Day.
