Today is Buddha's Birthday!
Almost a month ago I posted a blog entry about Buddha's Birthday - since those lanterns hanging on the street marks His Birthday. It is the most commented blog entry because of the cherry blossoms fotos. The link is below: http://peterahon.blogspot.com/2008/04/happy-birthday-buddha.html But actually today is the real day of Buddha's Birthday here in Korea. I think in other countries his birthday is celebrated in other dates. Perhaps it was the Hallyu (Korean wave) from South Asia (India/Nepal/Tibet?) to China-Korea-Japan or East Asia. OM MANI PADME HUM Happy Birthday Buddha! May peace reign in hearts, mind and soul... Ooooommm... Shanti..... Below are photos taken at the Buddhist Temple located at the 518 Memorial Park, Sangmu, Gwangju, ROK.
