Question
What are some of the major Buddhist holidays?  Also is it true you are alowed to celibrate any holiday from any religion?

Answer
Dear Brendan,
  You can go to this website for Buddhist holidays:
http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma3/holidays.html
  In general Buddhism would not have a problem with the celebration of other holidays because it is a philosophy and not a religion.
  Take care,
        Joe

I can answer questions dealing with Taoist philosophy and Zen and not the historicity and religion of Buddhism and its different schools. I studied under Dr. Richard DeMartino and Masao Abe of the Kyoto School of Zen.
