Location: Buddhist Maha Vihara Brickfields.
Address: 123, Jalan Berhala, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
The temple became a focal point for the annual Wesak festival within the city suburb. Devotees, visitors and tourists converged at the 125-year-old Maha Vihara Buddhist Temple in Brickfields today to celebrate Wesak Day.
This auspicious day commemorates the birth of Gautama Buddha, his attainment of enlightenment as well as his death. Many devotees at the temple were offering their respective prayers and contemplated in silence to pay homage to Lord Buddha.
They also took the opportunity to light oil lamps and candles to symbolise the light in the lives of the devotees as well as chase away darkness and evil.
Wesak Day this year was a little different at the temple as the booths selling food and drinks, clothes and religious items were moved outside the temple grounds giving more space for devotees and visitors. Religious chants and hymns from the temple could be heard from loud speakers.
The highlight of Wesak day will be the candlelight and float procession at 7pm today where floats from different temples gather together at the temple for a 12km procession around Kuala Lumpur. It is expected to last some four hours.

Wesak Day 2019 Part 2 | Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur ~ Mahalo JC
Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple is a place of worship that practices the Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhist tradition. Also known as the Brickfields Buddhist Temple, it’s accessible within a five-minute walk from KL Sentral station. Located far away enough from the main streets to provide it with a peaceful atmosphere, the rusty-red and white shrine may appear small on the outside, but it’s actually a walled-in structure of high ceilings, ornate fixtures, and impressive reclining Buddha statues. There’s also a bookshop selling various publications on Buddhism and sculptures of Buddha at reasonable rates. Every 1st and 15th day of the Lunar month, local devotees flock to the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple between 19:30 and 20:30 to present a variety offerings to the statue of Buddha, including flowers, incense, candles, fruits, and sweets. The service is then followed by a recital of Buddhist verses, sermon and blessing by resident monks in the temple. If you’re looking to learn about the religion, the senior resident monks also provide meditation courses, as well as counsel for personal issues such as marital problems, depression, and anxiety for free, but donations are highly welcomed.

Kepada rakyat Malaysia yang hormati,
Suka-lah kita memberitahu bahawa Sami Negera Myamnar kebanyakannya ajaran sesat, banyak permikirannya yang tak betul, main perempuan, tipu wang orang ramai dan lain-lain.
Seorang Myanmar Sami Buddha (VEN. ASHIN INDAKA) bertinggal SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE, NO: 19 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA, KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR, 52100 MALAYSIA (YIP KUM FOOK PRESIDENT) yang sama jahat.
Harap orang ramai, khasnya rakyat Malaysia mesti jauhkan sami Myanmar ini. kami harap juga Kerajaan Malaysia lebih mengambil perhatian Sami Buddha yang di upah dari luar Negeri, supaya rakyat Malaysia dan Nagera dapat di selamatkan. Sekian, Terima Kasih
Respect to people of Malaysia,
Likely, we are told that the Myamnar monks mostly false teaching, many impress notions which are not right, play girl, cheating of the public money and others.

Hope all people; especially Malaysians must far away Myanmar's monks. We hope more Malaysia's Government also noted that the wages of Buddhist monks from the other countries, so that the Malaysian and country can be saved. Thank you
尊敬的马来西亚人民，
我们想告知，缅甸僧侣多半是假的教学，观念是不正确的，玩女人，谎言，欺骗金钱.........
