Buddhists follow the pradaksina procession during the commemoration of three sanctified events of Waisak 2019/2563 at Borobudur Temple, Magelang, Central Java, early on Sunday (19/5/2019) morning. The commemoration of Waisak is held every year to honor the birth, the attainment of perfect enlightenment and the death of Buddha Gautama.

SEMARANG, KOMPAS — Harmony in diversity blossoms in Thekelan hamlet, Batur village, Getasan district, Semarang regency, Central Java. Differences of faith serves as a strength among the people in the hamlet located 1,600 meters above sea level.

During Waisak on Sunday (19/5/2019), Buddhists wore white and stood neatly in line on the roadside, as adherents of other religions greeted them warmly. The tradition has been upheld for the past three years and is also observed on Idul Fitri and Christmas.
