Vesak Day
An eagle soars overhead while Elke pauses to take it all in @ Lake Toba, 23rd March 2008
Today is Vesak Day, a public holiday in Malaysia (hence the long weekend and this trip) and it is an annual holiday observed by practising buddhists. And we’re observing it by practising our one with nature and the universe on the waters of TasikKenyir today. It is an important and busy day for buddhists who would be gathering at the temples before dawn for the celebration of Buddha Day.
Being the first full moon of the month, we may do a bit of night kayaking if the weather is fine tonight which would make it a fitting end to our kayaking trip as we would be heading back to KL tomorrow sometime in the early afternoon and when I’ll be taking the last flight out to Kuching from KLIA.
