Which Buddha and Bodhisattva’s birthday is on the eighth day of the first lunar month
The eighth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of Guanyinzhai (Tenzhai Day) and King Yama of the Five Halls.
The word Zhai means "to abstain from one’s mind, body, and mouth".When fasting, people are required to have no false thoughts, no deeds, and no false words.At the same time, they must not drink alcohol or eat meat to avoid confusion.It is most wonderful to be able to recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" in front of the statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on this fasting day, to eliminate disasters and crimes with good thoughts and good deeds, and accumulate good fortune and enjoy blessings.Those who see it are predestined, my Buddha is merciful, protecting all living beings from disasters and avoiding disasters, and following the wishes of the Buddha’s sons can all be smooth.
