BUDDHA'S BIRTHDAY
I have revisited The Van Phat ,now: Van Hann center, a Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in Centerville incomparable Bull Run Park drive .She  is located at the gate of our prosperous pretty park.,and worth spending some times with her living marble body of Buddha in spring lotus and sun,or fall spirit.It was Buddha's birthday or ZAADMAAN and I found everybody in the mood of festivties and celebrations.
2570 years ago Persian Empire was born according to written history,wherein  Buddha,the Persian Prince was born 2547 years ago in yhe month of May(=Wine!) and or midspring .This date varies in different cultures and calendars,either solar or lunar,Gregorian or Jalali,better to be known as Khayyami...then The prince of Simorgh preferred to live with peace,in the heart of nature rather than war torn palaces.So Buddha travelled eastward to the sun and through Bamian reached a tall white wall,aka Himalaya in Nepal (=NEFAR or high standing hut) and lived humanely there with love and happiness in what he was searching as peace.
Buddha left his Persian Behdin/khoramdin  behind and ascended to Nirvana at age 80.
