buddha jayenti

Buddha Jayenti is one of our countries festivals. In our country Nepal we used to celebrate on the 9th of may but this time here in Australia we all people from nepal celeberate this festival on 10th of may.

9th of may is the birth date of Lord buddha. Whom we worship . So yesterday we Nepalese people gathered in a park in Marrickville. My uncle organised this programee so I was one of the volunteers there for the day. Firstly we worshipped lord Buddha and after that a female Taiwanese monk gave a lecture about Buddha Jayenti. She gave a wonderful speech about him.

After that the volunteers made some prasad for everyone . Later there was also a volleyball competition there were 6teams and we all cheered on the players.I had lots of fun and i enjoyed myself. The l team from Thakali won the match so they got a prize too.Then one of the teams from thakali showed us a performed some dancing for us.It wa very comeical.

FInally we served puri and tarakari all the players as well as other people. This is our number one Nepalese food. Everyone enjoyed it.And hope it was great celebration. I Hope that next year we will have ever more fun .
