Now the Blessed One spoke to the Venerable Ānanda, saying: “It may be, Ānanda, that to some among you the thought will come: ‘Ended is the word of the Master; we have a Master no longer.’ But it should not, Ānanda, be so considered. For that which I have proclaimed and made known as the Dhamma and the Discipline, that shall be your Master when I am gone. (DN 16)

💕 Each year, on the full moon day of May, the disciples of the Buddha observe Wesak Day, a day which commemorates the birth, enlightenment and great passing away (Parinibbāna) of Gautama Buddha. Although the Buddha has passed away, His teachings (the Dhamma) still stays, guiding His disciples towards the end of worries and sufferings, thus gaining supreme benefits – Nibbāna. This year, Wesak day falls on the 19th of May. Are you ready to recollect the life of Lord Buddha?

🏕 Here at Dhamma Earth (Semenyih), we have the Buddha’s teachings and the guidance of the Saṅgha. Dhamma Earth (Semenyih) will be organizing a series of activities on Wesak Day for the devotees to accumulate their merits. On the eve of Wesak (Saturday, 18th May 2019), from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, there will be meditation guidance, Dhamma talk and candle lighting whereas on Wesak day (Sunday, 19th May 2019), the activities lined up will start from 8am to 2pm. Activities include Buddha Pūja, Sutta Chanting, Dhamma Sharing, Request for Three Refuges and Five Precepts, Bathing the Buddha, Lunch Dāna (offering) and Kids Corner.

🎇 The significance of candles lighting is to bring brightness. Hence, we will channel all donations from Wesak’s Mangala Candles Lighting for the purpose of bringing brightness. One of the ways to bring brightness to Dhamma Earth is to have electricity supplies. So, donations received will be used for the installation of TNB electricity facilities and the monthly electricity bills. Every wholesome light by every wholesome heart brings true benefits and brightness, shining upon others and ourselves.

🕯We welcome everyone to participate in this wholesome act of candle lighting to accumulate our merits. Maṅgala Candles Offering consists of Family Candle: RM50 and freewill donations of any amount.
