Happy Birthday Buddha!!!

[acparsons61]

Monks from Sri Lanka to Nepal turned up for the Seoul Lotus Lantern Festival to celebrate. Buddha's Birthday is next Tuesday, but there are celebrations for a couple of weeks in Seoul. Many fun Buddhist experiences, including mediation, cuisine, and the lotus position yoga challenge.

Great set.

I really do kick myself sometimes for not taking more pictures while I was abroad.
