Amazing description brother.🙏🏼 The last part was where my favourite phrase included and that's why I love Vesak this much. Happy Vesak to all of you🙏🏼🇱🇰 It's windy season in Sri Lanka and than other years it's much windy this year. So be a little bit vigilant. 😇
Happy Vesak to you. Definitely very windy so you be careful as well.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you soo much
I'm from srilanka
Buddhist community in srilanka ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your fabulous presentation. As a born and raised buddhist, i did learn a lot from your video. Glad to see you and your wife get to enjoy this beauty. Greetings from Texas!!
Thanks so much. Means a lot. Sending love to Texas. Can’t wait to make it back to the US one day
All the vesak Lanterns,,Pandals,, street decors are traditionally,, strictly Hand made....that activity symbolises the dedication and devotion to pay homage to Lord Buddha... so nothing is machine done.... it's supposed to be a meditation that you have to be prepared and offer your faith and unblemished following towards Lord Buddha ' s teaching.... it's a tradition to get involved for this most Holy and Wonderful day.... The Universal Buddhist Flag was initially designed by ancient Buddhist priests....it symbolises the Lord Buddha ' s powerful aura of 5 qualities Lord Buddha had.... it's a wonderful subject to refer Buddhist texts and learn..... Thanks a million for taking the trouble to do this wonderful video... You are Blessed by the """"TRIPLE GEM """"" ( BUDDHA, DHAMMA , SANGAHA....)
Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.
Nothing you said is accurate.
Buddhism isnt a worship devotion based religion with a deity. The Lanterns and Pandals are actually a cultural celebration of the birth, englightnment and parinirvana (passing) of the buddha. It in no way is a "dedication, devotion or unblemished faith".
The buddhist flag is also not "designed by ancient Buddhist priests". It was designed in Sri Lanka back in 1885 by Anagarika Dharmapala and co.
Please dont spread misinformation if you aren't sure of history.
wonderful video. Thanks ❤uk
Thanks so much.
Thanks for telicast to world Sri Lanka.
And actually as per load Buddha flower offering meaning is when we offer flower it's very beautiful and minute to minutes it's going to dry and let down beautiful and all as per that our life also going like that every minute.
Thanks for watching and your explanation. 💚
Lovely video. Did you know that the Buddhist flag was designed by a team including and American , Colonel Henry Steele Olcott who having faught in the American civil war came to ceylon after reading the controversy about the debates taking place in ceylon in the 19th century.At first the debates were oral but they were stopped because they ended up unruly. The Ceylonese were expert debaters and were following the rules set in the 12th century books on debating.
Thanks so much for sharing. I definitely didn’t know that.
Thank you visiting our country & understanding the culture so beautifully!
We loved seeing the turnip for the Dansala from all walks of life including warm guests like you 🫶🏼
Thank you for visiting us!

"corn doesn't represent anything i was just hungry" xd that's a good one.. good video keep up the good work..
🤣🤣
Woow... you explained it very nicely and it's a pleasure to watch your this video as a sri lankan citizen... 💗🌼🇱🇰
You should visit to Galle City because i have never seen such a beautiful city in sri lanka...Galle Dutch Fortess, Rumassalla Mountain Range, Sinharaja Rain Forest, Unawatuna Beach & Hikkaduwa beach etc. add more value to the beauty of that city. If you have a chance, don't foregt to visit there for get a unforgettable experience 🌼 because i have no words to explain the beauty of that city 😊 Nuwaraeliya is such a wonderful city too & it looks like the heaven
Hope, you'll enjoy your journey in sri lanka 🤗
Heyyy. Thanks so much. What a beautiful comment. We are actually putting together a trip to spend Poson in Anuradhapura, then head to Dambulla, Kandy, Ambulawawa, Nuwara Elia, Ella, Imaduwa, then Galle and back to Colombo. With stops in between.

Wish you a happy Vesak, Thank you for the video, and may you live a long peaceful life💫
But I gotta say money is not an offering, it's actually a ban. Idk why ppl are offering money these days it seems like a lot of ppl do, but we are taught Buddhism in schools, and acc to that offering or receiving money by monks or temples is most definitely a ban.
I'd really appreciate it if you could spread this fact.
Wow. Thats wild. Never knew that. What about donations?
@@ThatBadassLife Oh about donations it's a bit complicated. Even Though theoretically offering and accepting money in temples is wrong, nowadays temples also need to pay the electricity and water bills unlike in the past when there was no such requirements. so ppl help out. In places like Ruwanweli seya in Anuradhapura you'll always see an agent sort of person is there to handle it. So that's definitely approvable.
But the way ppl offering money just the way pahan(candles), flowers and incense is wrong. For example if a person throws money in to a shrine or those glass like boxes where buddha statues stay respectfully.
Sorry for not clarifying.
Sri lanka wesak 😮

Hi....
This is an amazing video. What nice work man!
You are expressing Vesk to all of the world....💜
I'm Sri Lankan (Christian), but we are celebrating all the religious events in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.
These days I'm out of the country, so I missed the Vesk festival at this time.😢
Please wait for the upcoming Poson festival, you can get an unforgettable experience.
Thanks so much. We’ll be in Anuradhapura for Poson. Excited.
How many years for your love story❤️
1.5. We’re putting together a video soon about it.
I ate 6 ice cream 🍦
Amazing lol. We didn’t get to see too many Dansals but we’ll be in Anuradhapura for Poson next month.
@@ThatBadassLife god bless you
