Hello Steemers!

This year we are not in a mode to celebrate Vesak. My grandfather is admitted to the hospital. He fell down and now he can not even talk. One of his had and a leg is totally out of control. He is in the hospital for 5 days now. I really wish him to get well soon as soon as possible. With the current covid situation it is very hard to manage these things at the same time. My grandmother is very sad and her mentality also down. I am really upset about what happened.

I went to see Gangarama Vesak zone with my girlfriend. That memory will last forever with me. There were some of our friends also. We saw very beautiful Vesak creations around the street.

In the same year, I visited the Gangarama Vesak zone with my other friends also. There were lots of Dansal in this area. We did not miss one as I remember. This was the year 2018.

I never miss lighting up my grandmothers lamps every year. She always asks me to help her to light those.

I truly believe that we have to work on improving our mental stability. Lord Buddha said us the way to enlightenment. I think it is better to practice those things parallel to our day to day activities rather than doing those things separately. That means we don’t have to put special care for those things. Those are simple things that work with our simple life. As humans, we are attached to physical beauties. I do not deny that. But we can train ourselves to have a limit. That’s why I said we have to first improve our mentality. I see Vesak poya day as an opportunity to rethink our lives. Do we come to this world to be prisons of this useless system that we are trapped into?

Last year I visited Pilikuththuwa Rajamaha Viharaya with my family

I used to meditate every day. That is not like everyone doing. I do it in my own way. It really helps me to control myself sometimes. In the past, I was used to overthinking very much. I think now I am getting rid of that thing which is good for me. I practised looking at different angles for different kind of questions. That also helped me to solve some problems very easily. If some problem arises try not to read it aloud. Keep calm and look for solutions. It will help you and your friends very much.

Home Vesak in my home and relatives this year

We all are humans. Humans are born smart. We always should look into the future what are the consequences of our actions. Do they hurt others? Finally what I have to say is we are the owners of our own actions. So be responsible for what you are saying or doing!
