KhunBENQ Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yesterday, July 1 was "new moon" day. "day 1" of the lunar month. Not a big holiday just a special day in the moon cycle. People visiting the temple. Bit like a Sunday for Christians? "new moon": they don't exactly follow astronomical dates (3rd July). All a mystery to me. For July the days are 1, 9, 16, 24, 31 (start of next lunar month). July 16, full moon, is one of the most important Buddhist holidays: Asanha Bucha (Asalha Puja). There you will observe much more going on. A public holiday. As I have very limited knowledge of Buddhism you should better look for an expert.
