The photos on this page are from Makha Bucha Day at a small Buddhist Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Makha Bucha Day, as it is known in Thailand, is also called Sangha Day in other parts of the Buddhist world. It commemorates the Buddha's visit to Veruvana Monastery in the city of Rajagaha, when 1,250 arhats are said to have spontaneously returned from their wanderings to pay their respects to the Buddha. Sangha Day is celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month which is usually March but fell in February in 2008.


These photos, and others from my recent Thai trip, are available from ZUMA.
