THE Mahindarama Buddhist Temple in Jalan Kampar, Penang, was all lit up on the eve of Wesak Day when devotees took part in the lighting of 10,000 lotus candles to commemorate the Thrice Sacred Day – the Birth, Enlightenment and passing to Nirvana of Gautama Buddha.

Earlier, devotees were seen bringing packets of rice, mee hoon and oil to be offered as a mark of gratitude for having learnt the Dhamma teachings of the Buddha to guide them in their life.
