During Buddha's birthday (Vesak), the centre with the local supports who stay in the community will organize a great vegetarian feast in front of the altar for prayers before eaten by the attendees.^[1] The foods served are all in vegetarian as buddhist teachings always encourage people to consume more vegetables and reduce the killing of animals for consumption.
