The Peace Foundation, an independent research institute founded by the revered Korean Dharma master and social activist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim (법륜스님), hosted an international symposium in June on the theme “New Awareness of War, Peace, and Life.” The live-streamed forum brought together a panel from experts from Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, who discussed a range of traditional and non-traditional threats to global peace and security and corresponding new strategies and approaches to mitigating these risks.
Commemorations for the birth of Buddha, a public holiday in South Korea, are known as Bucheonim Osin Nal (부처님 오신 날) meaning “the day the Buddha came,” and Seokga Tansinil (석가탄신일), “the Buddha’s birthday.” The festival is observed on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which usually falls during May.
