Buddha Relics Celebrations at Cambodian Temple - Silver Spring 2010
More than 500 Cambodians on Aug 29, 2010, shared alms and paid respects to Buddha relics kept in a precious gold and diamond urn at Buddhikarama Pagoda in Silver Spring, MD. Construction has begun on a new stupa at the temple, located some 20 km from Washington DC. The festival was organized by The Cambodian Buddhist Society. (Photos by Im Sothearith, VOA Khmer)
