About
Celebration of Gotan-e, the birth of the Buddha Shakyamuni. He was born 2,500 years ago to King Suddhodana and Queen Maya in the garden of Lumbini, located in Kapilavastu, a small kingdom at the foot of the Himalayas. He was named Siddhartha and later Shakyamuni Buddha. It is said that at the moment of his birth Shakyamuni Buddha said: “Between heaven and earth I am the Venerable.”
