What day is February 2 1 in the lunar calendar?

February 21st of the lunar calendar is Christmas in Pu Xian.

Pu Xian, the transliteration of Samando bhadra Bodhisattva, also known as Banji Bodhisattva, is one of the four great Buddhists in China, and the Dojo is located in Emei Mountain. In general temple statues, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra and Manjusri Bodhisattva are threatened by Nigumi, and Pu Xian is riding a white elephant on the right side of the Tathagata. Manjusri Bodhisattva rides a lion and is located on the left side of Tathagata. Taking two great scholars as examples, Manjusri shows wisdom, wisdom and evidence, while Pu Xian shows reason, determination and action, which together explain the completeness and perfection of Tathagata's reason, determination and evidence.

Manjusri Bodhisattva and Pu Xian are the first of all the Bodhisattvas in the Third World. In Buddhist scriptures, they often help to publicize Tathagata, promote Buddhism and accept all beings. On February 21st of the lunar calendar, the birthday of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is celebrated. People can burn incense and pray at home, and some go to temples to burn incense and pray for the happiness of Bodhisattva.

The Meaning and Symbol of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva

Bodhisattva samantabhadra represents practice. These qualities, such as filial piety, compassion and wisdom, will be meaningless and empty talk if they cannot be put into practice in life and in dealing with people. So Pu Xian taught us to practice, practice.

Generally speaking, the four bodhisattvas in Han Buddhism symbolize four ideal personalities, namely, willingness, action, wisdom and sadness; They are the Bodhisattva Diksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, the Manjusri Bodhisattva and the Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Pu Xian symbolizes practice, as people often say, "Practice becomes truth". Pu Xian mainly advised people not to dream, to have ideas and desires, to do it, to practice, to achieve real success.
