SHOULD ONE CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY IF IT FALLS ON WINTER SOLSTICE?
Caller: A fellow Buddhist practitioner’s birthday happens to fall on Winter Solstice. Is it alright to hold a birthday celebration?
Master Jun Hong Lu: It is best not to do so. Misfortune will surely befall you if you consume meat-based food on this day.
Caller: Is it alright if we invite friends for a vegetarian meal?
Master Jun Hong Lu: That is alright.
