Don't worry about the Christian vs. Buddhist. St, Patrick didn't really exist any way. Just was made up after a night, or several nights, of drinking various alcoholic beverages, by a bunch as sheepherders as a joke. Wouldn't you know it some people took it seriously, HK and BenT mostly, and now we have a green tradition. So celebrate as you wish and it will probably become part of the tradition. Mike
