The calls of the Sunda-Scops Owl was added into this video that I had taken of a full moon over skyline of Kuala Lumpur on the third night of Wesak Day 2024. Grateful to have been able to leave my office at Cyberjaya by 6pm on eve of Wesak to visit Maha Vihara temple in Brickfields. The monks were chanting prayers when I arrived around 7.15pm. Had a proper dinner at around 9pm at Moghul Mahal Brickfields when I left the temple. Went to Sri Jayanti temple at Sentul on Wesak Day late in the afternoon, and lighted a candle there as well.

Sarnath (formerly known as Isipatana) is where, circa 528 B.C. at 35 years of age, Gautama Buddha taught his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. Sarnath is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Would like to go visit this ancient Buddhist site of Sarnath on my pilgrimage journey as a Buddhist, one day. There is also the caves of the thousand Buddhas in Mogao, south-east of the Dunhuang oasis, Gansu Province, China which is also listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
