THE MAGIC OF VESAK IN SRI LANKA 🎆 UNIQUE BUDDHIST CELEBRATION ☸️🪷

I am so happy I had the chance to create this video. It is a blessing for me to be in Sri Lanka for this significant Buddhist holiday of Vesak. I was amazed of the beauty of the city and how nicely it was decorated. The atmosphere in Colombo felt magical. It's such a special and unique way of celebrating a spiritual and religious holiday! I'd love to be back in Sri Lanka for the next Vesak!

    Definitely, infrastructure Development in Sri Lanka can stand up with any devolved country. With so much more to improve. Middle class upwards houses are more spacious and well built much in larger scale with more facilities. When you compare with other South Asian countries and developing countries, Sri Lankan living standards are much higher than the rest.

    This year Wesak celebrations were special, as a Nation we were not able to celebrate wesak in its full glory for the past 4 years due to various issues we had to experience during this period. It is one of the main religious events in our nations calendar in which the main Buddhist population and all other citizens too look forward and join in the activities. It is a special time for Sri Lankans.

    Dansela is because of lord buddas teachings..It says to give away your belongings to improve your mind reducing thanha.(thoughts which leads to collect things)..From this buddhists want to shorten the Sansara(repetition of birth) and to reach nirwana .. You are invited to read Theravada to entertain the inner aspect of buddhism .. Thanks for visiting SL.

    Once you are inside a temple, you do not need to be afraid of anything. Our teacher is the fountain of ultimate compassion,kindness and empathy. This applies to all beings not only humans. Purify your mind from all ill will. That is the way to freedom. No amount of praying can summon a supreme saviour that will take ownership of all your sins. That is a LIE. Bless you all.

    Basically, lord Buddha teaches to attain Nibbana (No rebirth) to prevent sorrowness of the life in the basis of impermanency of the matters. To do this we have to eliminate feelings like Raaga (Sexual feelings), Attachments, Greediness, Dosha (Hate) and Moeha (Foolishness) etc. Womens are advised to wear full cloth to avoid Raaga (Sexual feelings) of others. It is not a buddhas teaching but it has become a custom

    The "buffet" is not an actually a buffet. Its called a "Dansala". They are organized by the residents of the areas or families expecting nothing in return but good karma for giving essentails for free to other people who comes to see wesak celebrations. In this case it was a free meal.

    Vesak lantern is attractive and completely related to our life (body). At present people use electric light for them to keep them alive for a long time (to add beauty to the celebration) but In the past, people used to light up them using real fire like candles. Then when the wind is coming,🍃 lanterns start moving and burn. So the beautiful lantern is ruined. Just like our life. Even though our life is nice and we decorate our body with many jewels. Everything ends up with death. So Vesak is kinda like a reminding day,Not to be sad but to realize the truth of life and karma.So this day gives solace. That's why this day is filled with light(means enlightenment) ,slow pure music and dansals (to help people). I just wanted to give some more information about this celebration😇😇thanks for coming sri lanka. Hope you enjoy the other celebrations like theru (hindu celebration) and other cultural celebrations too. Have a nice vacation in sri lanka. 💐💐💐💐💐💐🤩
