Cheng Beng Rituals on Earth Day

March 28th, 2009

Today I went to up to Kek Lok Si temple (largest Buddha temple in Penang)  for our annual chinese rituals which is Cheng Beng or a ceremony for paying a visit to the deceased elderly. It has been our traditions for all of our family members including all youngster like ME and seniors to get together once a while also as a type of reunion to catch up with all the hottest news and juiciest gossips among our Tan family members.

This year my dad and sister will be joining this Cheng Beng with the other members from our Tan family members. Since I am not going back hometown as my dad refrained me to drive back all the way back to from Penang to Nibong Tebal ( my sweet hometown) and drive back again to Kek Lok Si temple instead they asked me to join them on the way after they finished visiting my deceased grandpa’s and ancestors’ memorial graveyard in Sungai Bakap, Penang and meet them up at E-Gate Jelutong, Penang.
