When is the birthday of Buddha Zaosi?

The birthday of the Bodhisattva who built the temple is on the 23rd day of December or the 3rd day of August in the lunar calendar.

According to the traditional folk custom in China, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to worship the Kitchen God, which is the birthday of the Kitchen God. However, according to Taoist classics Jade Sagger and Jia Qinglu, the birthday of the Kitchen God is the third day of August.

Sacrificing the kitchen stove means sending the kitchen god (commonly known as the kitchen god among the people) to heaven, praying that the kitchen god will speak well of Di Chin in the next life, and report the safety of the whole family and several people in the family, and praying that the jade emperor will leave the whole family with their jobs. If he doesn't go home next year, the kitchen god will not report this person. In the next year, this person will not belong to this family, and report fireworks, trivial matters, cause and effect, good and evil, so as to safeguard the peace and good luck of the whole family.
