To all above,
Well, you don’t have to complete all the whole 10 temples round
inside Kong Meng San.
As long as you are sincere in doing, just 1 round of bow around 1
temple is great too.
for those with personal reasons, or lack of stamina, you don’t have
to bow or kneel down.
There are devotees who just walk, yes, just walk. Every few steps
you walk, there’ll be a bell as guidance, once you hear the bell,
just bend as in 90 degree bow while standing, no need to kneel down
to bow.
Then as mentioned above, there is another type where devotees
prostrate whole body on the floor too.
for those who faint easily (say lack of blood flow), standing up
and kneeling down to bow can cause the blood flow to one moment
flow to your head, next down your body again when you stand up.
Then in that case, you just walk.
For me, I got bit of breathlessness, hence when I can’t take it , I
will just walk most of the distance, and kneel bow for some
distance.
The final part of the walk (like a marathon) till the end, everyone
will reach a golden buddha statue which spouts out cold water onto
your body, as in like receiving blessing.
That’s really a sense of accomplishment at the final point.
I see from above post none of you are interested in this walk.
Nevermind, you can still
PM me your handphone. Hope all of us can meetup at
KMS. There are loads of
activities at various hall too. Or all of us can enjoy a vegetarian
meal together.
Other than the vegetarian meal served in the newest hall at
KMS, at downstair along
the walkways there are many kiosk serving kuehs and snacks
too.
If you have other friends/foreign friends interested to visit
KMS on Vesak nite, bring
them along too.
Hi Lavender, just curious. Do you have tickets for the 3 steps 1
bow at KMS. If yes, how many? It is ok if you do not have but if
you have, we can start early.
