About the Origin of Laba Festival

Laba Festival falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and the main custom is drinking Laba porridge. Laba Festival is one of the grand festivals in Buddhism.
According to Buddhist records, before Sakyamuni attained enlightenment, he practiced asceticism for many years until he became emaciated. He then realized that asceticism was not the ultimate way to liberation, and decided to give it up. At this time, he met a shepherdess who presented him with gruel. After eating it, his strength was restored. He sat under the Bodhi tree and meditated. On December 8th, he achieved enlightenment.
To commemorate this event, Buddhists hold a ceremony on this day and cook porridge with rice and fruits to offer to the Buddha.
It is recorded in "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty" by Wu Zimu of the Southern Song Dynasty: "The eighth day of this month is called Laba in temples. Large temples all prepare porridge with five flavors, which is called Laba porridge." Since Buddhism was introduced to China, temples have made porridge with fragrant grains and fruits and presented it to disciples and believers.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, various temples hold ceremonies, imitating the story of the shepherdess offering gruel to the Buddha before his enlightenment. They use fragrant grains and fruits to cook porridge as an offering to the Buddha, which is called Laba porridge. It is said that after drinking this kind of porridge, one can get the blessing of Buddha. Therefore, Laba porridge is also called "Longevity and Fortune Porridge", "Blessed Virtue Porridge", and "Buddha Porridge".
"Laba" was originally a Buddhist festival, but after generations of evolution, it gradually became a household folk festival.
