On this occasion, paper lanterns or lamps with candles are lit which are strung around all the shrines within the monastery and in series of rows in the central courtyard. The most ornate type of lantern is the lotus flower type. These are usually professionally made by monastics from the subsidiary monasteries of Songgwangsa. The lanterns are also put up for sale at the main entrance of the monastery. According to a learned monk of the Songgwangsa monastery, the practice of lantern lighting is related to the <a href="/wiki/Jataka_tales" title="Jataka tales">Jataka tales</a> which depicts the Buddha's past lives. The largest lamps inside the main shrine hall have been dedicated in the past by the late President <a href="/wiki/Park_Chung-hee" class="mw-redirect" title="Park Chung-hee">Park Chung-hee</a> and his wife.
