How to celebrate Japan's Kasahara Festival?

1. The Kasahara Festival in Japan is usually held in July every year 13- 15. 13 On this day, it is important to welcome the spirits of our ancestors home and offer exquisite noodles and seasonal vegetables to express our condolences to the spirits of our ancestors. 16, the main point is to send the soul away. Every year, the mountains in Kyoto use wood to form Chinese characters, which are lit and burned for soul fire activities. There is also the Lanpen Dance, where monks are invited to recite scriptures at home and turn over for the dead. At that time, the family will rush back to their hometown from other places.

2. Japan's Kasahara Festival, that is, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month (July 14th in some places), is called Zhongyuan Festival, Ghost Festival or July 30th, and Gumu Festival, which is a day to worship ancestors and ghosts.

3. In China, Liang Wudi, which was famous for believing in Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was the first to hold the "Orchid Club"; Later, bonsai was still popular, but it gradually changed from being a monk to a ghost, with the aim of crossing over the undead.

4. After the Song Dynasty, the three religions gradually merged, and Buddhism and Taoism reached a tacit understanding on this issue. In fact, the orchid flowerpot is a transliteration of "ullambana", which means "saving the upside down". According to the Buddhist scriptures, the suffering of the deceased is like an upside down, which should be rescued as soon as possible.

Because Chinese is used in Chinese Buddhist scriptures, it is also explained that "Magnolia" is an inverted sentence and "basin" is a container for food. Although this statement does not conform to Sanskrit, it is still widely circulated in the Buddhist circles in China.
