In Korea the birthday of Buddha is a very happy occasion, celebrated according to the lunisolar calendar. This day is called Seokga Tansinil, meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday" or Bucheonim Osin Nal meaning "the day when Buddha arrived". Throughout the month of May, lotus lanterns cover the temple grounds. Come participate in a day of joy and friendship. Free vegetarian meal and tea for all.

For more information please contact the temple.

Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
