Seoul Lotus Lantern Festival Heralds Time of Rededication

Each spring, the life and example of Gautama Buddha are celebrated throughout Asia. In Korea, this celebration is best exemplified by the annual Seoul Lotus Lantern Festival.  This three-day event is a flurry of colorful parades and lively events that literally bring the city to a standstill.  More than a giant party, it is also an opportunity for the followers of Buddhism to rededicate themselves to the tenets of their faith. Buddhism dictates that, in the lighting of a lotus lantern, one commits to doing good in the world and being a proverbial light in the darkness.

We at Planet Depos take inspiration from Gautama Buddha and his mission as we rededicate ourselves to the tenets of our profession.  The most solemn of these tenets is ensuring the integrity of the record.  Only by maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards in the court reporting industry can this be accomplished. Planet Depos would therefore like to take this opportunity to renew our commitment to providing the very best in court reporting, videography, and litigation support services throughout the United States, Asia and the world.
