making lotus lanterns; Shauna, me, and Sarah (also teachers) posing with our lanterns
celebrating with jenga block stacking
traditional dancing
dancing in traditional costumes underneath the lanterns near the temple
"shrines" where people can pour water over Buddha
And finally, the Bongeunsa Temple:
the front of the temple
praying inside the temple; 1 of 3 golden Buddhas; candle-lit red lanterns
lit-up coy fish; proud cow?
women carrying lanterns
woman coming out of a lotus flower; temple scene
As you've maybe come to enjoy, we put together a video capturing the parade & of course some of the funnier things.
Buddha's official birthday is May 2, so don't forget to get your lantern out and eat some vegan cake.
We're silly and adventurous, computer geeks and yoga peeps.
