Temple tourism, part two[Buddha birthday edit]

This was part one.

The activities highlighted in the "Dharma on parade" posts all led up to yesterday's event, the celebration of the birth of the historical Buddha more than 2500 years ago. Friday's celebration coincided with the Children's Day holiday in Korea, so as I walked through the fairgrounds where the Yeoju Ceramics Expo is being held, and then made my way down to Silleuksa Temple, I enjoyed seeing (but had to be mindful of) all the young ones running around or shooting by on pocket bikes.
