In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday".
The streets are lined with Lotus lanterns and can be seen at every single temple in Korea. On the day of Buddha's birth, many temples provide free meals and tea to all visitors. The breakfast and lunch provided are often sanchae bibimbap.
We are planning to visit the Beomosa Temple tomorrow night for a lantern festival.
Happy Friday! x
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. - Buddha
