Wesak was celebrated on 17 May 2011 in Setia Alam.
It is a day which marks 3 momentous events in the life of Gautama Buddha; birth, enlightenment and passing away to parinirvana on a full moon day of the 6th lunar month (May).
Light was used as a symbol to remind that Buddha showed people the way to become enlightened.
Bathing the Buddha is a symbol of inner purification.
Nurses and doctors arrived early at the Community Hall in Impian 4 to serve the community who were willing to donate their blood to save lives.
Volunteers put up posters depicting the 'Life of the Buddha' both in English and in Chinese for the understanding of all.
Devotees listening deeply to chants by monks.
Volunteers spent time and effort to cook delicious food to raise fund for the Setia Alam Sambodhi Buddhist Association.
Some who are good at handicraft made beautiful bangles and spectacle chains also for fund raising purpose.
Dhamma books both in English and Chinese were made available for free distribution on Wesak Day.
