The Butterworth Buddhist Association was packed with worshippers as they remembered the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Buddha.
They participated in the ritual bathing of the Buddha statue with scented water as well as prayer and the lighting of lotus-shaped candles.
The statue being bathed represents purification from pollutants.
At the association’s headquarters in Mak Mandin, Butterworth, which was exquisitely decked with colourful lights on Wesak Day, devotees could also be seen chanting and participating in prayers.
Tan Shui Yee, a 32-year-old housewife from Taman Bagan, Butterworth, said she prefers travelling on the eve of Vesak Day in order to avoid the crowds while she was visiting the temple with her son.
Tan stated, “I have been attending Wesak Day prayers since I was a young child. I go for the annual event to ask Buddha’s blessings for good health and prosperity.
The family came to pray for wellbeing and mental tranquility, according to Butterworth-based ISO consultant Cheok Chee Seong, who was there with his wife Lim Kheng Kheng, a customer service professional, and their kids Yi Kai and Yi Bin.
He claimed to have prayed for heavenly favours for many years.
Dr. M. Ganesh and his wife R. Gomathy, both from Kuala Lumpur, were present.
He claimed they were visiting Butterworth on a brief vacation and came for prayers.
“We desired to gather holy water and obtain Lord Buddha’s favour.
In Kuala Lumpur, we have been honouring Lord Buddha on Vesak Day for ten years, he continued.
