These pix are the festival on May 12 2002. This year's Buddha's Birthday is coming soon. Could you share the pix of Buddha's Birthday celebration in your cities?

we dont have celebrations of buddha's birthday (or i am not aware of ) but we celebrate Confucius' birthday.

Confucius and Buddha must be almost contemporaneous.... no?

I can't see the pix for now, but anyway, I think we also celebrate Confucius's birthday too, just not to the extent of that for Buddha and Christ.
