  It can be a cruel practice to release animals into the wild if the environment and habitat is not suitable for their survival. Not too long ago, I did witness the release of whole cages of birds, presumably purchase from commercial bird shops. Many could not fly away and my guess is that, they were too weak, sick or diseased. Those that could not fly away were left to wander around the temple compound. Not a pretty sight indeed.

  It is best not to have negative thoughts on such issue if it is going to depressed you. If one feels very strongly about the whole thing, then try getting into the act of discouraging people carrying out such practices. It is more fruitful that way. Fortunately, I believe most, if not all Buddhist temples in Singapore nowadays rarely carried out such practice anymore.

  To have good and bad days is just going to happen to all of us all our lives. After all, everything is impermanent and if we look on the more positive side of impermanence, the bad days will eventually pass us by.

  It was certainly a wet Vesak Day. But did you notice how fresh the air was when the rain stopped?
