Was it yashouma?

What should I do for Buddha’s birthday?

>>3

You’re going to buy a Christmas cake and celebrate, right?

>>4

It was done at a Buddhist-affiliated kindergarten.

It’s not tasty…

Pour sweet tea over each other.

Is there a grand festival held somewhere else for your birthday?

In the past, Sugamo was quite popular, but I wonder how it is now.

Koyabu was saying this a lot for a while.

They should hold a sale or something.

>>13

It feels like throwing beans is somehow forgiven.

I was born on the same day as Buddha.

Is there too much Buddha bone issue?

Compared to cake and turkey, sweet tea is just too weak, no matter how hard you try…

How about having some tea?

I often saw sweet tea being poured at the cherry blossom viewing park, but I didn’t know that…

A premium day where sweet tea can be legally poured over a Buddha statue.

It seems like it’s not good to be obsessed with things like birthdays…

I don’t interact much, but congratulations!

It’s my birthday, isn’t it?

There are relatively enthusiastic food stalls that appear nearby, so I’m quite looking forward to it.

I’m not sure if you remember, so I’ll congratulate you in advance.

Congratulations

First, please spread the sweet tea.

Happy birthday, Buddha?

Not much interaction, though.

Some stores start preparing for Johnny Depp’s birthday in November, but when it comes to his birthday…

>>30

It’s not fair to blame Buddha, who was born so early in the new year.

Christmas with presents, cake, and a turkey (KFC) combo is just too unfair.

The population is overwhelmingly dominated by Jodo Shinshu.

In heaven and on earth, I alone am honored; all three realms suffer, and I shall put them at ease.

Compared to the image of Christmas, the plainness of Buddha’s birthday is impressive.

I think that in order to make something popular, some kind of production is actually necessary.

It feels like a forceful approach is needed for Easter to become a day when characters in social games wear bunny suits.

Sweet tea is interesting, so if there’s a birthday party at the temple, you should go.

When you put it in your mouth, it tastes like regular tea, but after you drink it, a sweetness comes from your throat.

I think it’s a shame that sweet tea is not very tasty considering its high price.

Do you want milk porridge?

If you want to appeal to Japanese people, linking the event to food is the quickest way.

If there is something affordable related to Buddha…

>>39

Hmm…

I have never drunk sweet tea in the first place.

When I think about it, throwing tea on someone else is just too rock and roll.

I like afternoon tea.

Isn’t it tough to celebrate birthdays from a Buddhist perspective?

>>43

I’m reminding myself not to forget that I haven’t achieved liberation.

Christ wasn’t born on this day, right?

The timing is completely misaligned with the company’s business strategy.

Follow Jesus.

>>46

It was originally a festival for the winter solstice.

Is it the one where the comedian Koyabu is trying to liven things up?

If you change the sweet tea to royal milk tea, the possibility of it becoming popular might increase by about 1 millimeter…

Sweet things don’t go well unless it’s with black tea.

Isn’t it an event where you hold sweet tea in your mouth and say “PE”?

I looked into whether there are any catchy foods other than sweet tea.

Bamboo shoots, udo, and fava beans are too weak as hooks for the festival…

If you turn sweet tea into something like sweet tea latte and then present it with some kind of high-end Japanese dessert in an extremely stylish way, it might be popular with young people, don’t you think?

Can I press the button on the Deco?

>>55

It’s no good because I’ll self-destruct.

Is it a flower festival? For Japanese people, I think cherry blossom viewing is good enough.

Did you somehow escape trouble with a demon fur bikini beautiful girl?

It’s not number one in the country… Is the number one Shinto? Or is it non-religious?

We need to make a Bodhi Day song popular, like the countless Christmas songs.

Is there also a theory about May 8th?

First, please unify it.

Compared to the founders of other religions, his royal lineage means that there are relatively reliable records of his birth date and other details.

I have an image of a white elephant.

It feels more like authentic Buddhism and not very much like a Japanese festival, right?

What do you want? Chicken? Sushi?

Is it the flower festival?

It’s not a climate that dries nicely with tea poured on it…

The Day of Doyō is Eel Day!

Valentine’s Day is a day to exchange chocolates!

On the day of Ehomaki, we eat Ehomaki!

The Buddha’s birth festival will become popular if we post a lot of images of brown-skinned Indian girls with large breasts.

>>70

Since it’s necessary to connect with capital, let’s try negotiating with Itochu.

>>70

What about the costumes? For Setsubun, there are outfits for demons, and for Valentine’s Day, there are heart designs and wrapping, among others.

What kind of cute outfits are there for Buddha’s birthday festival?

>>70

Is it like sticking a spear on the butt when an earthquake happens?

Food for the Buddha’s Birthday Celebration

Sweet tea, shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), bamboo shoots, broad beans, udo (Japanese wild plant), yomogi mochi (mugwort rice cake), grass mochi.

Hmm…

>>71

I’ll just take sweet tea and mochi.

>>71

Shall we sell the sweet tea and mugwort set as a Buddha set?

Bonten “Buddha Birth Chikuchin Festival”

Don’t get caught up in frivolous things like birthdays; you should be training. I feel like I might get scolded for saying that, but if Buddha hadn’t been born, there would be no Buddhism in this world. Seriously, it’s a day to be grateful for that.

I still don’t quite understand Easter, but has it recently become established as Bunny Costume Day on the internet…?

Alright, the Buddha’s birth festival turns the Buddha into a female form!

Since Jesus was eating Christmas cake, it’s actually fine to serve cake on Christmas.

Buddha is just porridge.

>>80

If I could make something special by inventing it…

>>86

There is a supreme delicacy called “nukazuke porridge.”

>>91

If you make it into porridge, it’s just cheese risotto.

>>86

Let’s market it as Buddha’s porridge with luxurious fish used in the risotto.

>>93

It’s become Italy!

>>86

Let’s make risotto.

Let’s make it a day to eat pork, mushrooms, and rice porridge.

It’s too tough to stop being extravagant.

Let’s make some dairy products and celebrate!

Isn’t it strange that Johnny Depp brings out the Christmas mood for about two months even though it’s not a Christian country?

Why is it that Easter is associated with bunnies?

>>85

It seems to be because rabbits are symbols of fertility, abundance, and prosperity.

Halloween has become established, but Thanksgiving hasn’t at all, and it really seems that without an easy-to-understand motif, it just doesn’t work.

There are quite a few Buddhist kindergartens, aren’t there?

When is Buddha’s birthday anyway?

Didn’t Punch eat good food when he was a prince?

I see.

Not much interaction, but congratulations.

I remember doing sweet tea pouring because the nursery was attached to a temple.

It’s unfair that I get to celebrate Easter twice!

Cheese risotto is delicious, but it doesn’t have a special feel to it…

I wonder why it tastes sweet even though there’s no sugar.

>>103

The miracle of God.

>>120

It’s Buddha!

Since Buddhism originated in India, you should at least eat curry…

The birth of Buddha is on April 8th.

A bizarre festival where we try to calm down by pouring dragon syrup.

>>109

First of all, sweet tea isn’t in my usual living area, so I have to actively search for it, which is a hassle.

I don’t really like the idea of pouring instead of drinking either…

Kūkai and Jianzhen feel more like the respected figures of temples…

Buddhism does not fit well with capitalist events in the first place, so I want to create a New Buddhism like the New Testament, and establish a birthday for the Buddha that is filled with desire.

Mobile games shouldn’t do ridiculous things like having fantasy characters wear uniforms and hold a graduation ceremony.

Flower festival event! We should have an event to collect sweet tea items!

What day of the month is it?

>>115

I feel like I’ve been asked this many times since this thread was created.

I’m posting this without knowing either.

I tried searching for “Imegug” at the Flower Festival.

https://www.chunichi.co.jp/article_photo/list?article_id=670042&pid=3327509

Look at the face of the child pouring sweet tea.

>>116

I understand.

It seems that there might be a connection to events like with Jesus, or it might have to be on a holiday like with the Emperor…

The way the date for Easter is determined is just ridiculous.

There’s also the possibility of pouring sake over the grave to pay respects.

It’s not so much that it couldn’t be accepted because they are Japanese, but rather that the tea wasn’t very catchy, was it?

I went to a Buddhist kindergarten, but I have done it.

Why do I have to celebrate the birthday of some guy with a weird head?

>>126

But if you could eat chicken and cake and receive presents under the pretext of celebrating the birthday of a weird-headed guy… how does that sound?

>>132

Thank you! You weird-headed guy!

>>126

The punch perm Buddha statue seems to be a creation from the 5th century…

The original Buddha statue has a topknot (a mound of hair like Sazae-san) but does not have curly hair (like a perm).

By the way, the Buddha actually said during his lifetime that making statues of him is not allowed, so it’s questionable whether his hairstyle is really accurate…

>>150

In early Gandhara art, there are hairstyles like buns or long hair styled in a ponytail.

>>150

If you think about it, a meat bun hairstyle is just like a bun hairdo, and it’s just a common hairstyle where long hair is simply gathered up.

If it were a holiday, its popularity would increase, and everyone would celebrate it.

>>127

Is everyone really celebrating the emperor as much as they say?

It seems that Buddha’s birthday is on April 8th.

There is a reason why an unfashionable festival is unfashionable.

There is no sweet tea.

I remember participating in the Amacha Festival only during my nursery school days because I also attended a nursery run by a temple.

Aren’t there many Buddhist kindergartens?

Did you really hold a rosary and chant sutras?

>>135

It’s common in Takao and Hachioji, right?

There is a big tower too.

>>135

How was the prayer beads?

But I was chanting the sutras.

>>165

We had a rosary.

Every morning, we had a morning assembly in the main hall, sitting in seiza.

>>135

The sweet tea dragon had a splashing festival, but that’s about it…

It seems like bugs will gather after it’s over.

In other words, it’s sweet rice wine, right?

I think the influence of social games is significant.

Halloween and Christmas… and recently, weddings too.

There is also a cherry blossom viewing event as an exclusive excuse for FANZA games, just to be safe.

Compared to Buddhism, Shinto festivals are even more minor, but I wonder why that is.

It’s probably just that it’s not commercialized.

>>140

Well, there’s a big event called Hatsumode that allows us to regain everything…

The ringing of the temple bell on New Year’s Eve in Buddhism is well recognized nationwide, but it’s a high threshold to go out in the middle of the night…

I think there’s actually a somewhat ascetic image of Buddhism, which makes it hard to be too playful.

>>141

Christianity is originally like that, but the fact that Buddhism doesn’t have a jolly old man like Santa is a fatal flaw.

Is it a major event in other countries?

I remember drinking sweet tea a long time ago, but it wasn’t as sweet as the name suggests.

If the number of immigrants increases, I wonder if the birthday of that person from Muha will become more known eventually.

Isn’t the correct answer to not be born from a Buddhist perspective?

>>145

There is no reason not to celebrate the day when Shaka was last born.

>>145

Basically, that’s true, but there are also words saying that the door to immortality has been opened, which is a point where interpretations differ.

And in Japan, there are scriptures from the transformed beliefs of Mahayana Buddhism, which was once a non-mainstream sect, that speak of people who were Buddhas in their past lives, and it’s just hard to say anything about it.

I know that milk porridge is related only to my knowledge of “Saint☆Young Men.”

I don’t remember the sweet tea episode.

>>146

The reason I splash you is to cool your head because you were born and started saying you’re the only one who matters.

>>159

Don’t get carried away.

Rather, since it’s an armpit festival, how about focusing more on the armpits?

A day for everyone to shave their underarm hair.

>>148

It’s a case related to Jun!

>>148

I shaved today.

>>148

The underarm sweat pad industry should take advantage of this big wave.

Does Turban Man have anything for his birthday?

Replacing sweet tea with beer gives a festive feeling.

…Why are we pouring beer on each other?

I think Buddha is Indian, so he should eat sweet things.

When you say it’s someone’s birthday born from the side, it sounds like a joke, right?

We need a masterpiece like a Christmas song.

When I hear it playing in the streets, it reminds me of Oh-Birthday.

Since you are Indian, make it a curry fair.

I’ll have the former village chief make a side rice ball for me.

I’m not saying you have to celebrate, but isn’t it okay to know?

In Buddhism, it is always special, and it’s also saying things that are meaningless at times.

Isn’t it also not suitable for setting event days?

Twenty years ago would be one thing, but now there’s a possibility of going viral on social media…

If we push the government to make Buddha’s birthday a holiday and create a three-day weekend, it would be a hit.

>>173

Do you call it Bronze Week?

>>173

Having a long vacation at the beginning of April is just not in the spirit of Buddha’s birthday, is it?

Shall we launch a limited-time sweet tea frappuccino?

Buddha is good, isn’t he?

Not being able to think of something that’s easy to do, delicious, or fun might be due to a lack of production skills.

If you put a Buddha made of rice cake on top of milk ice and drizzle it with sweet tea sauce, can you cool Buddha while pouring sweet tea over it?

There is no fun Buddhist event in November that can fill the gap between Halloween in October and Christmas in December.

>>183

December 8th is the day when Buddha achieved enlightenment, so it’s quite a big event, but there isn’t anything in November.

>>186

There is a Niiname-sai in Buddhist ceremonies.

>>190

Is it a Buddhist event, I wonder!?

Since it originates from the Nihon Shoki, it is more aligned with Shinto.

>>190

The Niiname-sai is not a Buddhist event; it is Shinto.

>>183

(There is the Soka Gakkai founding anniversary on November 18, but let’s keep quiet about it…)

>>200

You’re saying it’s a fun event, aren’t you?

Long hair is great; you can eat corpses and also eat cake…

Buddha baby born ten days later!

Unlike Jesus, who is either steadily haloed or crucified.

Buddha’s production is seriously all over the place, isn’t it?

I feel weak in any religion in November.

Isn’t being unable to eat meat at a Buddhist event a fatal flaw?

But while there’s no record of what Christ did when he was born, the rock aspect of Buddha is well known, right?

>>193

That long-haired guy’s life has been threatened by King Herod since he was born.

>>193

Call him Rahula!

>>193

From the perspective of a success story, one is a prince and the other is born in a stable.

Buddha threw everything away and became homeless, while Christ had people gathering who heard some kind of revelation.

If we’re not careful, St. Valentine might be more well-known…

It’s the episode about the rice porridge that is mentioned at the end of the Buddha’s life.

People and media had completely exhausted themselves both physically and mentally from their recent training, and through giving, they were able to…

It is said that they entered into meditation under the bodhi tree while regaining their vitality.

The rice porridge was spoiled, but I couldn’t waste it, so I finished it and ended up with diarrhea, which is quite something…

Mushrooms were growing, perhaps due to the depiction of decay in Osamu Tezuka’s Buddha.

>>197

You’re mixing that up; the rice porridge was before enlightenment, and the stomach issue was before death. The person I received it from is different, and I’m pretty sure the stomach issue was caused by a mushroom or something like pork.

Speaking of which, I understand Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, but…

Who is a Hindu saint…?

>>202

Gandhi

On rainy days, insects and small creatures move around on the ground, so try not to step on them as much as possible.

Somehow bring the concept of not moving around too much into the modern age…

Buddhism is really hard, isn’t it…

You won’t understand unless you celebrate Buddha’s birthday on a large scale for commercial purposes.

In heaven and on earth, I alone am revered!

>>209

Bombah!

>>209

The image of this turning into the special attack uniform of a biker gang is not really good…

The punch doesn’t have some crazy super power or anything…

Even though I only serve long hair, bread, and red wine…

>>210

I think it’s quite a superpower for a rabbit to jump into a campfire on its own and become a meal…

It’s not a rock-like anecdote, but I love the cute story where Maria gets scolded by her big sister Martha to do housework, and long-haired Ron says, “Martha is right!” and the interpretation of that story is long and meaningful.

I think the fact that a large number of people somehow return to their hometowns in August and cause massive traffic chaos is Japan’s biggest Buddhist religious event.

First of all, Malta’s dragon-slaying story is way too rock!

>>217

In paintings, it generally depicts a dragon being stomped on like a guardian deity…

Being non-religious, the only person I can celebrate a birthday with is Lenin.
