Buddah's Birthday Festival in Seoul Korea
Celebrated in May every year.
In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning "Buddha's birthday" or 부처님 오신 날
(Bucheonim osin nal) meaning "the day when the Buddha came". Lotus
lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often
flooded down the street. On the day of Buddha's birth, many temples
provide free meals and tea to all visitors. The breakfast and lunch
provided are often sanchae bibimbap.
