Dear children,

How many of you went around the city and saw the beautifully decorated lanterns? It was a wonderful sight, wasn't it? The most important thing is that you must keep in mind that the Buddha attained enlightenment on a Vesak full moon day. He was also born on such a day and passed away on a Vesak full moon poya day. Many of you may have even made lanterns and hung them up in your houses. Write to us about your experiences during Vesak.

Bye for now,

Aunty Merle.
