Holidays???

Another question....

When are the important Buddhist holidays? And are there traditions or important things to do on these days?

Last year on Buddha's birthday I meditated for longer and reflected on the meaning of life. No idea if that's on the right track.

At the top of the page there is a search bar you can use to look for topics that are likely to have been discussed already. Just be careful on commenting on old threads. If it's more than about a year old and you still have questions that aren't already answered by reading through, starting a new topic is best. The people active in the forum just changes too much to comment on threads that are older.

Holidays will also vary a little depending on which tradition you follow or prefer and which calendars those cultures use.
