Buddha spoke one last time "ALL CREATIONS ARE IMPERMANENT; work diligently for your liberation"! After pronouncing these final words, Buddha went into the jhana stages, or meditative absorptions. Going from level to level, one after the other, ever deeper and deeper, he reached ecstasy. Then he came out of the meditative absorption for the last time and passed into Nirvana, leaving nothing whatsoever behind that can cause rebirth again in this or any other world. This happened in 483 BC on a full moon day in the month of May, known in the Indian calendar as Wesak. After his death, Buddha's remains were cremated.

During this year's auspicious day of Wesak, we celebrate Lord Buddha's attainment of Enlightenment, and His passing into Mahaparinibbana.

The Members of the Lions Club of Sungai Buloh, with the help from the Members of the Leo Club of Seafield had A Charity Sale at the Temple during this Wesak Day on 5/5/2012 from 9.00am to 3.00pm at the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association. We sold Organic Vegetables, Fruits, Cookies, Cakes & other food to raise Funds for the Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Kurang Upaya Subang Jaya, Selangor (Subang Jaya Disabilities Children Association). We succeeded in raising more than RM2500.00 from this Project!
