Praying to Buddha at Samgwangsa Temple in Busan, South Korea

Buddha's Birthday Bash in Busan

June 23, 2015

Buddha's Birthday is a holiday celebrated by lantern festivals in Korea. Before leaving the US, I went to a different kind of lantern festival in Dallas. I saw another one last year in Gwangju, but the affair was held in the shadow of the Sewol disaster. I was't entirely impressed by the visit in Dallas, but now I've seen how the Koreans do it when not in mourning, and I have to say, it's worth the visit despite the possibility of crowds.

Anapji Pond is the ancient palace of the Silla Kingdom. It is a relic of the time when Korea was divided into three warring states, each vying for control of the peninsula.

I took a trip there months ago, and now I'm sharing some of my images, and the story behind them.
