How many days are left until Laba Festival 2019?The date of Laba Festival in 2019 in the lunar calendar:Thursday, January 2, 2020 (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Pig , six days away from the Laba Festival in 2019 ) On the Laba Festival, some places in my country have the custom of drinking Laba porridge. The ingredients of Laba porridge vary from region to region. But basically they include cereals such as rice, millet, glutinous rice, sorghum rice, black rice, coix seed, beans such as soybean, red bean, mung bean, kidney bean, cowpea, etc. Dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, wolfberries, chestnuts, walnut kernels, almonds, longans, raisins, ginkgo nuts, etc. The origin of Laba porridge:The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, was originally the son of King Suddhodana of Kapilavastu in northern ancient India (in present-day Nepal). Seeing that all living beings were suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death, and being dissatisfied with the theocratic rule of the Brahmins at the time, he gave up the throne and became a monk. He achieved nothing at first, but after six years of asceticism, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became a Buddha.During these six years of asceticism, he only ate one grain of hemp and one grain of rice every day. Later generations did not forget the suffering he endured, and ate porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year to commemorate him. "Laba" became the "Buddha's Enlightenment Day". "Laba" is a grand festival in Buddhism. Before liberation, Buddhist temples across the country held Buddha bathing ceremonies and chanting sessions, and imitated the legend of the shepherdess offering gruel to Sakyamuni before he attained enlightenment. They cooked porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to the Buddha, which was called "Laba porridge." Laba porridge was given to disciples and believers, and it later became a folk custom. It is said that before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, monks in some temples would hold bowls and beg for alms on the streets. They would cook the collected rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other ingredients into Laba porridge and distribute it to the poor. It is said that eating it can bring blessings from the Buddha, so the poor call it "Buddha porridge". A poem by Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty says, "Today we are giving each other Buddha porridge, which makes me feel the festival food from the river village is new." It is said that there is a "rice storage building" for storing leftover rice in the Tianning Temple, a famous temple in Hangzhou. Usually, the monks in the temple dry the leftover rice every day, which accumulates for a year. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, they cook it into Laba porridge and distribute it to believers, which is called "blessing and longevity porridge" and "virtue and virtue porridge", meaning that eating it can increase one's blessings and longevity. This shows the virtue of the monks in the temples at that time to cherish food. The eight-character destiny is predetermined for each person after birth.
