Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Buddhists

I love Mehheeko - Rosarito, Cabo, Taco Bell, tequila. I also speak a little Mexican. - Wow, BJ!

Let's go to Puebla, Mexico, to see 5 de Mayo celebration highlights

(Where the Jones) Where the Jones? We're the Jones family, and this channel is about where the Jones family is on planet earth. The goal is to travel and visit as many places as possible while at the same time showing the audience a genuine experience full of data. Let's go to the only place in Mexico that celebrates Cinco de Mayo: PUEBLA. My camera was a foot in the air for two hours! To see everything we travel with, check out the Jones Amazon shop for camera equipment to trekking gear to upset stomach remedy while traveling.

We're Mexican Buddhists with battered brains, searching for a future, world is our aim. Gimme gimme your hand, gimme gimme your mind, gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that... (Germs, "Lexicon Devil").

There's Buddhism in Mexico? Yes, Buddhism arrived in Mexico (Fusang), including California (Alta and Baja) which was part of Mexico, long before there was a United States of America, according to American historians Edward P. Vining (1885) and Rick Fields (1992).

Now let's get it straight. It's not Chinko dee May-yo but rather Sin-Koh deh My-Oh (Cinco de Mayo or \ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo\), Spanish for the "Fifth of May."

Spanish is NOT the language of Mexico. This is the imperial language of Spanish oppressors. The UMS (United Mexican States) has various indigenous languages, the most popular being Nahuatl ([naw-wah\).

Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on the fifth day of May to celebrate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 [1,2], led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. 

So May 5th is NOT like July 4th, the USA's Fourth of July, because it is not an Independence Day for Mexico. That falls on September 16th, El Grito de Dolores.

Gen. Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness, and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and occupied Mexico City.

However, following the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the United States began lending money and guns to the Mexican Liberals, pushing France and Mexican Conservatives to the edge of defeat.

At the opening of the French chambers in January 1866, French madman Napoleon III announced that he would withdraw French troops from Mexico.

In reply to a French request for American neutrality, the American Secretary of State William H. Seward replied that French withdrawal from Mexico should be unconditional.

Empire vs. Empire: US vs. France vs. Spain

This observance is MORE popular in the United States than in Mexico [3, 4], almost certainly because Americans think it is their southern neighbor's independence day and just can't imagine that it is not.

Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican-American (Xicano) culture [5, 6, 7]. Celebrations began in Columbia, California, where they have been observed annually since 1862 [8].

It's not "Mexico" (Land of the Mexica tribe). Its real name is the "United Mexican States."

The day gained nationwide popularity beyond those of Mexican-American heritage in the 1980s due to advertising campaigns by alcohol purveyors (beer, wine, and tequila companies). Today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on par with the Super Bowl [9].

Brief history of Cinco de Mayo: Mexico to Chicano pride in California

Are you Mexican OR American? - Both, B*tch.

In Mexico, the commemoration of the battle continues to be mostly ceremonial, such as through military parades or battle reenactments but not everywhere in Mexico.

The City of Puebla marks the event with various festivals and reenactments of the battle.

Cinco de Mayo inspires patriotism or at least pride in our Mexican heritage and is therefore sometimes still mistaken for Mexican Independence Day — the most important national holiday in Mexico — which is celebrated on September 16.

History of Buddhism in America

Independence Day commemorates the Cry (Grito) of Dolores in 1810, which initiated the Mexican War of Independence from imperial Spain [1, 10].

Cinco de Mayo has been referenced and featured in entertainment media and has become an increasingly global celebration of Mexican culture, cuisine, and heritage. Everyone loves it, few more than the gringos in El Norte (North America). More: Cinco de Mayo
