Introduction of Tibetan festivals

The 30th day of the seventh lunar month is a religious festival called "Dizang Festival". After the death of Sakyamuni and before the birth of Maitreya, Dizang was a bodhisattva on which all beings in the world depended to save their suffering. King Earth Treasure once swore that he would not become a Buddha until all living beings attained universal attainment, so he often appeared on earth, heaven and hell to help them suffer. Some Buddhist books say that the Earth Treasure King is the incarnation of Yan Luowang. He is the master of the nether world and has the face of Zhang Shanliang.

In the past, there were temples dedicated to the king of Tibet everywhere, and on July 30 every year, good men and women would go to worship. In particular, Liang Qing in Nanjing is said to be the place where Tibetan Bodhisattvas practice. Since the beginning of the month, there has been an endless stream of believers burning incense, especially after the 25th. There are many tourists going up and down Liang Qing, and tea sheds can be seen everywhere. Teahouses are decorated in various ways, and the fragrance doesn't stop until the end of the month, which is called "building a mountain gate".
