Happy Wesak Day, Or So It Should Be

Buddhists all over the world gather on this very meaningful day to celebrate an auspicious event.








On Wesak Day, Buddhists all over the world commemorate events of significance to Buddhists of all traditions: The birth, enlightenment and the passing away of Gautama Buddha. As Buddhism spread from India it was assimilated into many foreign cultures, and consequently Wesak is celebrated in many different ways all over the world.

And one of the ways of celebrating Wesak Day is by releasing pigeons or some other creatures if pigeons arent readily available. My dad's friend's wife once released a frog. She bought it from the pet store then released it. Things money can do for you.





But my lil brother celebrated it extra special this year, we dont usually celebrate though, not devouted Buddhists. Hehe.





He did it like this..........













Yup, he dug up some soil and saw earthworms wriggling joyfully.Short is their joy.

Took them and burn 'em. Now that's hot! Not.

Animals seem to go euphoric when its some special day.

Remember December 26?

Well, we put our rabbits,male and female together after separation. Man, you can guess what happens next. I thought of taking a picture or a video, cute but definitely 18SX. Might corrupt the young minds who visit my blog.

The reason they were but together in a small cage is because we're kinda abandoning them*tears*. Its too time consuming and troublesome to take care of pets who defecate too many milo pops.Well, i do miss 'em!

Look on the bright side though, we're releasing animals today too. Just in a slightly different way. Always choose to view things from different angles. =)
