Lotus Lantern Festival 2: Buddha's Birthday Festival


We awoke the next morn, and got on our way, for a festival was happening and we wanted to play.

First hands on activity of the day

John's pot

Then we donned some traditional clothes and posed for paparazzi. 

Our next hands on activity was to make one of these



Take tons of papers

fold them just right

Wrap them together, and you get a perfect lotus
Double-dutch ain't got nuttin' on Korean death rope

Mandala creation

Getting some drumming lessons from a Korean monk

Gettin my drum on


Buddhists from all over the world came together, this man was from Sri Lanka. 

From the lotus folding we moved on to some fan decorating. 

The final product

I don't take no bull

Hand made rice cake


 A traditional game...
