Tuesday is the first day of the sixth lunar month marking a new moon! Typically, Buddhists make a point to visit a temple on the new moon (day 1 of the lunar month) and the full moon (day 15). The days are normally marked by eating vegetarian, burning joss sticks, temple prayer and piety in a show of devotion.
