Buddha's death each spring to be remembered

            Every year in the week or so ahead of the spring equinox Buddhist temples remember the anniversary of the death of the Buddha. So display a giant picture like this one, more than 100 years old, that shows the body of the great holy man surrounded by disciples and a whole host of sentient beings other than human. The red bundle in the upper left of the picture is a dose of medicine from his mother in the world beyond. But it got stuck in the tree, so it could not keep him from dying. In the days before radio and TV, there sometimes would be narrators to tell the story of the scene being shown. It was a kind of visual aid.
