Last Saturday it was Buddha's Birthday which is one of the biggest holidays here in Korea. Well.. it wasn't that big... But there sure were a lot of lanterns! I guess the holiday is more for the Buddhists to celebrate.
Lanterns.
Lanterns.
Temple.
It was really nice at the temple we went to. The decorations and music were beautiful, and there was a peaceful atmosphere. There was just one thing, worshiping a statue, that felt a bit odd for me grown up in a Christian environment. *In the Woljeongsa monastery I was told that it's not worshiping, it's respecting.*
Buddhist women.
Birthday guests.
Also Buddha has basic needs. :)
