Quote of the day

"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well-known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized." :beaten: - Fred Allen

OK So I am late for this celebration, but in honor of Buddha's birthday* here are some quotes:


"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker." ~ Buddha


"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace." ~ Buddha

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." ~ Buddha


"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace. " ~ Buddha



*According to wikipedia.org:

Buddha's Birthday (Traditional Chinese: ˜Å’a; Pinyin: fó dàn; Cantonese: fātdáahn), the birthday of the Gautama Buddha, is traditionally celebrated on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Chinese calendar. It is a holiday in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and South Korea. The date varies from year to year in the Western (Gregorian) calendar:

2006: May 5

In Japan, Buddha's Birthday is celebrated on April 8, but is not a national holiday. It is also known as 'Flower Festival' (Japanese: Hana-matsuri or Kanbutsu-e). Children traditionally drink ama-cha, a beverage prepared from a variety of hydrangea.

In places where the Chinese lunar calendar is not used, the birth of the Buddha is often celebrated for the entire month of Vesak (Buddha Purnima in India). Some places would have a public holiday in the middle of this month to coincide with the full moon. For instance, Visakha Bucha in Thailand is such a holiday on May 12 in 2006.



Happy Birthday Buddha! :D
