Buddha's Birthday

[Nicholas]

This May 12th, 2013 will be the beginning of celebrations for Buddha. Here is how it is done at City of 10,000 Buddhas:

The City of 10,000 Buddhas - Celebration of Shakyamuni Buddha's Birthday

On May 24, 2015 the City of 10,000 Buddhas will begin Buddha's birthday events.

 

[Aupmanyav]

How come, we will celebrate it on May 4? Buddha Poornima (It is a National Holiday). When is the Birthday with you?
Oh, it is the India China calendar difference.

No, for reasons best known by the Dharmic powers in Japan, China, Tibet, Lanka etc.; there is not agreement on either the year or day of Buddha's birth. I prefer the Vaisaka full moon date.

Indeed, happy Buddha Birthday and Buddha Poornima and Shukla Paksha 4 May 2015!
