Randomly found the Lantern Festival in Seoul, May 10-12, 2013. Buddha’s birthday was May 18th, and the Lotus Lantern Festival was to celebrate the Buddha’s coming into this world. There were a lot of activities to participate in (e.g. making traditional Korean paper and paper lanterns) and ways to experience Korean culture and Buddhism.
In particular, I enjoyed writing a wish to send up to the sky, and watching the parade at the end of the day. I love pleasant surprises like this while out exploring Seoul. For right now, I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
