Pre Wesak Day

Wanted to use beewax to make Prince Siddharta who recited the words "天上天下,唯我独尊。”upon birth.
Jo Ee said she want to make Buddha's disciple who lost his eyesight, ie. Anuruddha.
She remembered one of Buddha's 10 great disciples after reading the Buddha's story.
How wonderful!
I also made a red lotus for the little Buddha and the great disciple.
She made another cute little rabbit too.
See it watching at the side of the pond. :)
Jo Von placed some flowers on the water.
Yiyi had given the girls a piece of dry bodhi leave, so I let it stood in great honor behind the little Buddha.
Here is how our nature table now:


Upon completion, the girls had a fun time bathing the little Buddha and recited the words "礼佛足,接花香,祝福,吉祥," A verse we all learned last week during Tzu Chi ceremony.

p/s: When i asked Jo Von to take this photo for me to upload, she was trying to teach me some new buttons and its usage from the camera. She discovered that the camera screen can be scrolled up and down using touch screen function. What a cheeky girl!
