We first participated in the procession of carrying the Buddha statue to the College. There was a whole night (Pirith) chanting on the same day and placement of Buddha statue in the Shrine Room, revealing the pinnacle and offering the first set of flowers to the Buddha in the early morning of the following day.
Mr. Y. Umimae gifted some Brass and Silver wares to the Principal, which are very important in the services related to the shrine room.
