Due to the virus outbreak, BW Monastery has taken precautionary measures by suspending all activities including the Blessing Fortune Pujas and Lantern Festival Celebration events.

Nonetheless, many people still visited the monastery on the day of the Lantern Festival event to pray and offer incense. Some of them were first time visitors and many others travelled from afar to pay their respect to the Triple Gems.

There were some who turned up with their entire family, and all the visitors look like they were enjoying themselves.

On the second night, more than 40 worshippers came to the monastery. Some of them lighted incense outside the doors and left after that.

Although the outbreak is still ongoing, we are still devoted to the Triple Gems. As long as everyone remain united, we will be able to defeat the virus.

Volunteer Cai Ming Jie has been very helpful and assisted in taking the temperatures of the visitors and registering them at the counter.
