석가탄신일 (Buddha's Birthday)

석가탄신일 (Buddha's Birthday)
Lanterns decorating Jogyesa Temple in Seoul on Buddha's Birthday, May 21st.

Happy Birthday, Buddha! Glad to see you made it another year. Thank you for the day off and I had a great time at the party. It was the sort of day that left me with a pleasant buzz of happiness in the pit of my stomach and good will towards mankind, which is probably a fitting way to celebrate the birth of The Enlightened One. Granted my dinner of sausage/mashed potatoes/beer wasn't typical Buddhist fare, but it was delicious.

PS. Loved the decorations!

I am combing through the Korean Blog List and posting this message on a few of my very favorite blogs. Please know that getting this message means I have a great deal of respect for the work of yours that I have seen. I would love to have you along as a fellow pioneer for this project!
