where is bodhi day celebrated
Bodhi Day is celebrated mainly by the Mahayana branch of Buddhism in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the day of Buddhaâs enlightenment is on the 8th day of the 12th month, usually falling in January. However, in the 19th century when Japan adopted the Gregorian calendar, they assigned fixed dates to many of their holidaysâincluding Bodhi Day.
