Extended data:

In these festivals, I offer sacrifices to my idols, repent my past mistakes, give alms to poor monks, and fast to recite Buddha, so as to express my sincere religious feelings and sympathy for the world.

Opening meeting

It means removing sages, saints, customs, nobility and inferiority, and performing financial laws equally. In the 7th century, Xuanzang was invited to attend a nude convention held in Qunnvcheng, which was held every five years in India. All the treasures were used to benefit the community.

The conference lasted for 75 days, giving alms to Buddhists, Brahmins, Jains and beggars. The China Exposition Conference began in the first year of Datong (529), and Liang Wudi set up a rescue camp for the people in Zhongyun Temple as a prayer. Fortunately for Tongtai Temple, four (4) shelters were set up to clean the venue in cassock, get plain bed pottery by bus, and ascend the altar to open the Nirvana Sutra for the people. The emperor set up a Taoist and secular lent for 50,000 people.
