 A novice monk cries as he gets his head shaved by a Buddhist monk to celebrate the upcoming birthday of Buddha at the Chogye temple in Seoul May 3, 2010. A group of eight boys entered the temple to experience life as monks for three weeks. In South Korea, celebrations for Buddha's birthday last roughly a week and ends on the first full moon day of the lunar month Vesakha, usually falling in May.[Agencies] |
