* BuddhistCalendar is a subclass of GregorianCalendar
* that numbers years since the birth of the Buddha. This is the civil calendar
* in some predominantly Buddhist countries such as Thailand, and it is used for
* religious purposes elsewhere.
*
* The Buddhist calendar is identical to the Gregorian calendar in all respects * except for the year and era. Years are numbered since the birth of the * Buddha in 543 BC (Gregorian), so that 1 AD (Gregorian) is equivalent to 544 * BE (Buddhist Era) and 1998 AD is 2541 BE. *
* The Buddhist Calendar has only one allowable era: BE. If the
* calendar is not in lenient mode (see setLenient), dates before
* 1/1/1 BE are rejected as an illegal argument.
