(New York) The New York Buddhist Association will host an international Buddha's Birthday Festival on May 23. A parade will be held on Fifth Avenue for the first time. According to Mr. Ho Ke-ren, the public relations officer of the American Buddhist Study Institute, ever since the Irish celebrated the 60th Anniversary of their Immigration on Fifth Avenue in 1835, each year there have been several parades at the New York Civilian Railway of Fifth Avenue, which has become a major activity center for various ethnic, religious and political groups. For the Buddhists, this will be a first time.
