On this special occasion, most buddhist all over Singapore will be visiting temples to present their offerings (may consists of flowers, fruits and incense). The same objective, that is to pray for good health for their families and loved ones. Although filled with immense humidity that morning, it did not deter the folks from the House of ANG to join the other fellow buddhist to offer their prayers. (hee hee)
Later part of the morning, on a typical west part of Singapore, Toddler ANG's daycare 久碧丽园 also make good this opportunity for an Open House! The management introduced their advisory committee chairperson Professor Christine Ure (Phd., Associate Dean, Faculty of Education, University of Melbourne) to the parents.
Prof Ure has an outstanding reputation in academic circles in the field of early childhood development and is recognized for her work on assessing young children’s development and the teaching methods best suited to this young age group. She was in Singapore for a NIE conference since Monday and it was a pleasure that she was able to visit the daycare amidst her hectic schedule.
As buddhist, the folks of the House of ANG value Vesak Day very much. It's not only a public holiday for an opportunity to rest well, in their eyes, it's a mark of respect to mankind and to Lord Buddha.
With so much unrest in other parts of the world, the folks hoped that mankind will learn to appreciate each other, allow for peace and harmony for the sake of our future generations.
