Buddah's Birthday

On May 17th this year, Korean Buddhists celebrated 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), Buddah's Birthday. The holiday is celebrated with a week long Lotus Lanturn Festival where temples are covered in lotus lanterns and lit up at night. Olivia went to the coastal city of Busan to see the decorated temples and experience the festivities.
