What day is Buddhism today!

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is a day of self-indulgence for Buddhism, which is also called the Buddha's Happy Day.

In the Buddhist system, monks and nuns gather in one place every summer and 90 days to live in peace, adhere to the precepts and behave cleanly. On the last day, monks and nuns behave arbitrarily, that is, they are required to point out their mistakes, and they will be clean and happy in public, which is called self-indulgence. Moreover, the Ten Buddhas are very happy that they have settled down and practiced diligently, so they are also called Buddha's Happy Day and Happy Day. According to the "Lanpen Classic", Mu Jielian tasted this day to support ten monks in order to make great contributions and save his mother from the hungry ghost. Later generations began to support ten monks with meals and other things on the day when they were free. Their advantages are extensive, which liberated the seventh generation of parents. This is the origin of bonsai.
