Six or five days and Buddhist taboos

There are no sixty-five days in the Buddhist calendar. Of course, there are no taboos.

The first year of the Buddhist calendar was the year when the Buddha became a monk (not the year of birth, not the year of nirvana), and then heavenly stems and earthly branches was replaced by the lunar calendar.

In the Buddhist era, there was no Buddhist calendar. Later, China became the center of Buddhism in the world. Therefore, the date of the China lunar calendar was adopted as the Buddhist calendar.

The lunar calendar in China has many contents, including: month, day, branch, solar terms and so on.

Among them, branches and solar terms are used in various forecasting techniques, mainly including: Qimen shield armor, Ziping numerology, plum blossom easy number and six Yao Na Jia.

Buddhist calendars only use the month and day parts.

The dates mentioned in the Tibetan scriptures are Buddhist calendars, not Indian calendars.

The calendars in ancient India were 15 days and 1 month, which were different from our calendars.

When Master Siksananda translated Buddhist scriptures, he not only translated words, but also translated calendars and translated them into the dates of our China.
