Like i mention on my earlier post i wanted to try completing the Wesak Day walking parade, thats about 8 km from Jalan Berhala Brickfield to 1 Utama complex, and return back to the starting point. I tried my best but i just manages to complete half of the journey only. I walked as far as 4 km only, but i felt satisfied.

First of all i’m a lazy pig rarely do any exercise or have any long walk.Secondly whenever i walk for more then 30 mins none stop my sole will grow bullous but last night i walked for more then 1 hour plus going to 2 hour holding my dad hand while walking and i just felt slightly pain only!Thats a miracle!

Till now whenever i thought back i can’t even imagine i can walk that far man.! Thats really amazing! Thanks to all the buddha that have blessed me and give me the strength and power to walk that 4 km. That once again taught me if you have faith no matter what you can do it, although i can’t finish it but is already 10 times exceed my limit  I’ll do more preparation for next year Wesak Day!

Today is Wesak day. This is the holiest of all Buddhist days to mark the birth, enlightenment and final passing away of the Buddha. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 4th lunar month each year.Also called Buddha Day. In K.L we celebrate it by having a parade started by 7.00 pm fron Maha Vihara Temple in Jalan Berhala, Brickfields walk till Sogo Mall if i not mistaken around 8 km. Usually it takes 2 hour to complete it. Each year my family especially my mom will never miss joining this holy parade.My mom always told me  by completing this 8 km journey somehow show our sincerity and hope the buddha will help us cleanse our sin for our wrong doing throughout the year and bless our wellbeing whole year. Everyone is encouraged to hold a paper made lotus some gotta hold a lotus with burning candle.

Tonight is the first time i attempt to join the parade hoping to test my physical limit and hope the buddha will feel my sincerity and will bless everyone  happy and healthy always.Most important i hope my illness will found a cure and cure me soon.
