On Vesak Day, Indonesian buddhists visit Borobudur temple to celebrate the birth of Buddha. Monks and nuns help them to reflect on the message of the Buddha. Everybody joins in chanting and in a short meditation in a beautifully decorated stage. There are flowers and candles on the altar in front of the Buddha statue and the air smells sweetly of incense. The participants bring food that they offer to the monks and nuns and then all share a nice and friendly meal.
