The Spirit Of Vesak For The Family…

17 April 2018 10:24 am Words : Lakmini Wijemanne Today, most families are small families where the number of family members have gone down to basically two, in most cases - the mother and the father - children having left the family either for studies abroad or permanently domiciled in another country. The families which have children and extended families living with them, the Vesak season is a good time to get the young and the old together to engage in many activities that are connected to religious celebrations. Making vesak lanterns, going to the temple, engaging in "sil" programmes, helping out at many community programmes arranged during the vesak month, are a few of the times where you can be together as a team .
