"Buddha's Birthday: A Spectacular Celebration of Light and Peace in Korea" Every year, the vibrant city of Seoul in South Korea comes alive with joyous festivities to commemorate Buddha's birthday. One of the most enchanting places to witness this celebration is at Gangnam's Bongeunsa Temple, where lanterns illuminate the night sky and fill the air with a sense of tranquility. During this auspicious occasion, known as Lotus Lantern Festival, Seoul Plaza transforms into a mesmerizing spectacle at twilight. Countless lanterns are delicately placed around the plaza, creating a breathtaking display that captivates both locals and visitors alike. The warm glow emanating from these lanterns symbolizes enlightenment and serves as a reminder of Buddha's teachings. But it is not only in Seoul where this grand celebration takes place. In Gyeongsangnam-do province, Busan becomes another hub for honoring Buddha's birth at Beomeo-Sa temple. Here too, lanterns adorn every corner of the temple grounds, casting an ethereal glow upon devotees who gather to pay their respects. The atmosphere during these celebrations is truly magical – a harmonious blend of spirituality and cultural heritage. As day turns into night, colorful lotus-shaped lanterns float gracefully along rivers or hang elegantly from trees surrounding temples. Each flickering light represents prayers for peace and happiness not just for oneself but also for all beings. Buddha’s birthday holds great significance in Korean Buddhism as it marks the birth anniversary of Siddhartha Gautama – the founder of Buddhism who attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree over two millennia ago. So if you find yourself in Korea during this time, immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity that surrounds Bhudda’s birthday celebrations.
