GEORGE TOWN: Although Wesak Day will be a virtual or at-home affair this year, it will be a meaningful one for devotees. Rev Ji Zun said to celebrate Wesak Day, which falls on Wednesday, devotees could recite chants and bathe their Buddha statues at home. In a joint statement, MBA and the Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia (YBAM) said there will be no Wesak Day procession this year. The theme for Wesak Day this year is “Concerted Efforts Towards Global Immunisation”. “YBAM encourages all Buddhists to perform online Buddha bathing on Wesak Day to purify one’s mind and recollect the virtues of the Buddha, ” it added.
