SINGAPORE - With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, activities for Vesak Day, which falls on Wednesday (May 26), will again have to be scaled down and moved online.
Prior to the pandemic, the day of celebration for Buddhists would see many flock to temples, engaging in a day of prayers and offerings.
In the light of safe distancing measures again this year, the Singapore Buddhist Federation has put together a live stream for devotees so they can view the prayers and activities remotely on Wednesday.
Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong visited the federation at its premises in Geylang on Sunday.
