from Pesach to Vesak

'Tis the season!

We've gone from Pesach to Easter to what is now the Buddha's birthday! A little Dalma-do action to set the mood:



They've been celebrating in Korea for a while, now, but May 10, 2011 on the solar calendar corresponds, this year, to the traditional date for the Buddha's birthday on the lunar calendar, which is April 8-- at least for East Asians.

Happy Seokga Tanshinil (석가 탄신일, 釋迦 誕辰日)!

    Thanks, Hahna. I think I wrote this before, years ago, but it bears repeating: the "shim" character looks deceptively simple to write, but I'm still trying to master it.

    Elisson, thanks!
