The second month of the lunar calendar tells the stories of every day in February, bringing you the do's and don'ts of every day in February, as well as the directions of the God of Wealth and the God of Happiness, etc., making you full of expectations. The 21st day of the second lunar month every year is the birthday of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism. This Bodhisattva, who is collectively known as the Three Holy Ones of Avatamsaka Sutra together with Sakyamuni and Manjushri Bodhisattva, has always been widely revered among the people in our country. The 21st day of the second lunar month is the birthday of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The 21st day of the second lunar month in 2017 is March 18th, 2017 in the Gregorian calendar, which is Saturday. It is in conflict with the dog (Wuxu) and the south is the inauspicious day.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, whose Sanskrit pronunciation is translated into Chinese as Samantabhadra, means that he is endowed with immeasurable great deeds and profound vows, and manifests himself in all the Buddhas' lands. The place where Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Mahasattva manifests himself is Mount Emei in Sichuan. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva-Mahasattva represents the great vows and deeds of Mahayana Bodhisattvas and symbolizes the spirit of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. The Avatamsaka Sutra clearly states that all Buddhist teachings belong to Vairocana Buddha and the two great Bodhisattvas, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The three are collectively known as the "Three Holy Ones of the Avatamsaka Sutra", among which Samantabhadra Bodhisattva represents the essence of the practices of all Bodhisattvas. With the mind after the Tenth Level of Faith, Shancai accepted the teachings of Manjushri, visited many teachers, and attained enlightenment as soon as he heard. Finally, he went to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who blessed and enlightened him, and his attainments were the same as those of Samantabhadra and all Buddhas. Samantabhadra praised the wonderful merits of the Tathagata and asked him to make the Ten Great Vows, dedicating these merits to rebirth in the Western Pure Land in order to attain Buddhahood. He also advised all Bodhisattvas in the Huazang World Ocean to walk together and seek rebirth in the Western Paradise. The Lotus Sutra points out that as long as one has sincere faith and devotion, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva will appear with other great Bodhisattvas to protect this person, making his body and mind peaceful and free from all troubles and demonic obstacles. The "Record of the Samantabhadra Sutra on Prolonging Life" points out that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva possesses the incredible power to prolong life. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is a symbol of courtesy, virtue, and great vows, and symbolizes truth. He guides his actions with wisdom and verifies his wisdom through actions. He advances in both understanding and practice to fulfill the wishes of those who seek Buddhahood, so he is also called "Great Action Samantabhadra Bodhisattva."
