Yet another gem of art found on the streets of Seoul. Lost in translation?

Buddha’s Birthday

Wow - what a party this was. Now I must say first just how confused I am here. I am by no means an expert on Buddhism, but I am slightly more familiar with its theology than the average person. So here are my 2 objections: 1) The Buddha’s main tenet is that there is [...]
