Buddhist Cultural & Arts Festival 2007

The Buddhist Cultural & Arts Festival 2007 is finally here at MIECC (http://www.bovis.tv/bcaf/).

Hoping that the first day ceremony would not attract too much crowd, me and my wife went there. Everything is fine, the Exhibition is spectacular, featuring some very fine arts of Buddha & Bodhisattva Statues, the Buddha's Relics which are considered national treasures by many countries, and many others. As i observed yesterday, they even have special ceremony to bring the Buddha's Relics to a more secure place when the exhibition close for the day. There is only one problem, i do not have a camera!!!! While everyone have at least a compact digital camera if not DSLR, going around the compound to shoot, i hold a tiny Nokia 6280. Hahahaha.....















Giant 40-feet footprint replica - bear unique designs symbolizing the various qualities of the Buddha.

















Public bathing the little buddha - the real meaning behind this is not to bath the statue, but for us to remember to clean our inner self.




















A beautiful statue of Buddha






We then went upstairs to have a dinner while waiting for the cultural performance to start (after the opening speech). There are some food and drinks stall upstairs which are doing charitable sales. The vegetarian food is ok, both taste and price. But I guess the price for drinks is a bit expensive. RM 3.00 for a small cup of mango juice! Anyway, charitable sales what, so nevermind la....

The cultural performance featuring Hand Gestures performance by Tzu Chi, The Lost Relics (Musical Drama), Hymns Performance by Messenger of Dharma, and also the one most people enjoy, the Shao Lin martial arts by Shao Lin monk from China.
