“2553 years ago, young Prince Siddhartha was born in India, and after years of cultivation, he attained enlightenment and became the awakened one – the Buddha. On his birth, two streams of warm and cold water rained from heaven to bathe the infant prince. In keeping with the tradition, Buddhists celebrate the Buddha’s birthday with a similar ritual. In bathing the Buddha, we should vow to purify our actions, speech and thought.”
