The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery in Singapore is apparently the largest Buddhist Monastery outside China!. Here part of it is seen in the low light of the Sunset on the day before Vesak Day. A procession thousands of people taking 3 steps then kowtowing was just starting. That continued through the entire night.
The size an design of these buildings is truly impressive!
You can see the beginning of the procession HERE

A close up of two of the Buddhist Monks leading the procession around the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery. There is a group of hundreds of people following. They all take 3 steps & then drop all the way to the ground.
This is in honour of Vesak Day (also known as Buddha Day).
It is extremly hot & humid in the Equatorial climate and this is hard work! If you look LARGE On Black you can see the sweat on the Monks!
You can see a wider shot of the scene & more people HERE
