Double Rainbow at Kechara Wesak Day Fair
May 22, 2010
Many more signs for Kechara and the hardworking members will arise in the future like today at our Wesak Day Fair…Many good things will happen for our people…
Double rainbow over Kechara House just now during the fair is clear indication of that! And the rainbow ended at the top of our new prayer hall that is going to be completed in a few months’ time, how auspicious! Setrap and those within his Mandala will do more to make Kechara House/Dharma grow… He promised me…
Below are some nice pictures to share with everyone of the Wesak Day celebrations. We had blood donation drive, lots of dancing, Magic show for Children (adults loved it also), so much homemade delicious foods, animal awareness, Painting, crafts, recycling, and so on.
Many people dropped by to participate in the extremely fun activities. Towards the evening the skies threaten rain over the Kechara Outdoor Wesak Day event, but suddenly double rainbow appeared. The end of the rainbow landed right on the Kechara building that we are intending to enlarge our Gompa Prayer Hall very soon. So many witnesses there took it to be a excellent omen and perhaps a strong indication from Setrap that he was pleased with what we are doing.
The fun and educational activities were all done right outside of Kechara house. I salute the liaisons, organizers, staff and volunteers for doing such a good job.

Rainbows are always a sign of accomplishment of something very virtuous or the local and supramundane divine having being very happy show signs of their contentment.
such appearances are not new within the mainstream of Buddhism but are phenomenon which are explainable by logic of how they come about due to the happiness of aethereal beings who guard the teachings.
Buddhas, bodhisattvas and sacred protectors and the like may also emanate rainbows to show signs of a good sign moving forwards to making it easier for the holy teachings to propagate in order to change the fate of many sentient beings in need of help.
Here, rainbows to me signify the flourishing of Buddha’s teaching through Kechara House! and I pray that it may do so for many years and generations to come!
It’s nice to see people taking their own initiative to come to Kechara to celebrate Wesak Fair with their families!! It was such a nice family day out. I have never seen such a wide range of activities on Wesak Day — all in one park 🙂
The organizers of this event did a really good job in finding as many different activities as they did, it really pleased everyone! the friend that i had brought along really loved the “penang pizza” van! that man sold out 3 hrs before the event ended! “Aneh laku!” (‘so happening’ in Hokkien!) What’s even more fabulous is the fact that everything was vegetarian, yet it all tasted SO yummy!
I’m happy for Kechara House that it was such a success that pleased Setrap. May Kechara grow bigger and spread the Dharma to more people..whilst having this much fun!!
In this year Kechara House has organised Wesak Day Fair to celebrate Wesak day early in 1 week so that people who stay surround kechara house areas can go to participate with their organization too.
Like what rinpoche has written the appeared of double rainbow is the sign of setrap pleasured with what we were doing. All activities in that day were bring fun and benefit to participant.
The wesak day committee has planed and has many meeting in months to have more attractive activities. You guys really did a good job, in one year we can improve so much things, Kechara is growing not only by physical buy by activities also. I’m proud with the committee who work very hard behind the scene. May your hardwork bear fruit and may you gain enlightenment.
Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
Yes the auspicious Kechara Wesak Fair 2010!
With my friend, we were volunteers at Henry Ooi’s Bazaar Section and boy the second clothes were the deal of the day! We had one ‘Platinum Member’ buyer and another Indonesian lady who kept coming back for more! LOL
I only managed to see one rainbow at that time but it was okay to me as being with Rinpoche and Kechara is already auspicious, these are just complementary signs 🙂
It was both an honour and privilege that we were able to assist at the Fair and if not for Rinpoche and Kechara, this would not have been made possible.
Last year we had the food & funfair on Wesak Day itself. This year we decided to hold the food & funfair one ahead of Wesak Day because from last year’s feedback many people couldn’t come to KH’s event due to their commitment to attend their own centres’ celebrations.
Many people from the nearby community came and the Fair was filled with sounds, colors and aromas of food. Towards the evening, we had cool breeze and it was really the perfect weather for alfresco dinning.
Around 6.30PM as the crowd was entertained by the Magician, the dark clouds started to gather from the west. I got very worried because we anticipated more people would come around dinner time and we had 2 other performances to go. There was nothing I could do but made strong prayers to the Dharma Protector in my heart. You may think it’s coincidence….the black clouds slowly shifted away and there in front of all at the Fair a double rainbows appeared !
Thank you Protector, once again you showed us that if we have sincere motivation to spread the dharma, you would help practitioners.
Rainbow has once again appeared on the day we have activities, is it just purely coincidence or it is an auspicious sign?
We have just had a Wesak Fair on 23 May 2010, on that day, we have a lot of activities, even members and friends came to help out, they really participate whole heartedly to make our activities happening, whenever we have any activities, dharma spread and good sign will appear.
That’s what happened during Wesak Fair, a Rainbow appeared, one time is coincidence, but within these 2 years, Rainbow appeared almost during all our meaningful activities. How does it explained?? During that day, not only one, but two rainbows appeared on top of where our Gompa is.
Gambateh Kechara, go full speed and spread dharma wide and far.
That is a strange coincidence indeed cos the pic of ur rainbow is from th right curving towards th left.I was in putrajaya for drgonboat practise on saturday 23rd may 2010 n thr was a double rainbow too. I took a pic with my ph n mine starts from th left n curves to th right. As i hold my pic next to urs, it makes th whole rainbow… :o) nice..
didn’t think of writing but when i took my shower yesterday i happened to look at a book of mine on th shelf n it had a whole rainbow on th cover with a druid in th middle. Right behind it was another book (jane Goodall) n its title… “reason for hope”!! haha!!
Thank you for the photos!
Nice !!
This makes me happy 😀
