Happy Buddha Birthday!
Buddha's Birthday or "'Buddha Day"' is a Buddhist festival that
is celebrated in most of East Asia and South Asia commemorating
the birth of the Prince Siddhartha Gautama, later the Gautama
Buddha, who was the founder of Buddhism...The exact date of
Buddha's birthday is based on the Asian lunisolar calendars. The
date for the celebration of Buddha's birthday varies from year
to year in the Western Gregorian calendar, but usually falls in
April or May. In leap years it may be celebrated in June.
