The closing ceremony of Vesak 2007
All the devotees gathered round the specially erected shrine to display the Bodhi Tree which was presented to the Hidden Garden at last years Vesak by Venerable Rewatha, the head monk of Scotland’s Buddhist Vihara. This cutting was taken from the Bodhi Tree at Anuradhapura ,Sri Lanka. The Jayasri Maha Bodhi tree was grown from the original tree in Bodhgaya under which the Buddha gained his enlightenment on a Vesak Full moon day.
At the end of the ceremony all chanted "May all beings be well and happy" in different languages.
