    and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

      A few years ago I had the opportunity to observe the celebration of an open house at a Theravada temple, not native speakers, of what I must assume was the birth of the Buddha in the spring, a grand feast of Asian delights, music, flowers, open testimonials from visiting monks and priests, all near me at the opening of a new Temple (very small). What fun, and near my home. The public was encouraged to pour water over a statue of a small Buddha. Since then, as we drive by the temple often I see very little activity, sadly, but the ceremony, when I had more ignorance than now, was good.
