Buddha's birthday




















Buddha's birthday is actually next week but they are already preparing the temples. I went to the main temple in downtown Seoul - Chogye Temple - today thinking that the three day festival was actually going to be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Don't ask me why I thought that. It might have something to do with the fact that I read it in a magazine and a newspaper, and I'm sure I read it online somewhere, too. At any rate, not much was going on today - perhaps tomorrow. I know the parade is Sunday night (I think). I went to the parade a couple of years ago. It was kind of cool. There were lots of candle-lit floats.

At any rate, here are some pics.
