I am going to try to continue last year’s experiment and interview people about how they celebrate Buddhist holidays. Many holidays went without interviews last year; I’m hoping this year will be more productive.

• Lunar New Year · January 23
• Losar · February 22
• Magha Puja · March 7
• Hanamatsuri · April 8
• Songkran · April 13–15
• Gotan-e · May 20–21
• Vesak · June 4
• Obon · July & August
• Asalha Puja · August 2
• Vu Lan · August 31
• Ohigan · September 22
• Kathina · November
• Rohatsu · December 8

This list is by no means an exhaustive catalogue of Buddhist holidays. It’s more of a map (and reminder) for future holiday posts. You can find another partial list at About.com’s Buddhism page. If there are other Buddhist festivals you’d like for me to cover, just drop a note below in the comments (links would be useful too), and I will consider them.

Corrections are also most welcome.
