Light the Lantern at Borobudur (Vesak 2556 BE)






Vesak Celebration at Borobudur is one of the religious festival in Indonesia. Just like every year, more than 1000 lanterns were lit and released into the night sky while they're sending a wish.
This year the ceremony coincide with once-a-year cosmic event of the perigee moon,also known as the Supermoon, where the moon is the closest to Earth.




Buddhist people celebrate Vesak Day to honour the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha. The theme of this year's Vesak celebration is to increase loving kindness (Metta) and compassion (Karuna). That night not only for Buddhist, but they who attend also feel the atmosphere of peaceful and togetherness
