Obon is a festival that originated in India and is also a day of joy in Buddhism. In the past, after the Obon Festival flowed into our country, it gradually blended with the mid-year festival in our country, so the Obon Festival was not widely spread in our country, on the contrary, it was very popular in Japan, and its influence on Japanese culture was also far-reaching, and it was a Japanese festival second only to New Year's Day.

The 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is also the annual Obon Festival. According to the Buddha Sutra, "ullambana" is the Sanskrit word for ullambana. Yulan, translated as "upside down", basin refers to the container of offerings, so "Yulan" means to save the pain of hanging upside down, derived from the meaning:

Lu Xiao filled a pot of early destruction with five fruits and offered to the Buddha and monks to save the suffering beings who had gone to hell.

In Japan, Obon is celebrated from July 13 to 16 in urban areas and August 13 to 16 in rural areas. The Japanese attach great importance to Obon, which is an important festival after New Year's Day, and companies generally have a week off for about a week, called "Bon Kyu", and many Japanese who go out to work are choosing to use this holiday to return to their hometowns to reunite and worship their ancestors.

It's the Midyear Festival, and today is it. Every year on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month (and also on the 14th day of July), it is a day to remember the deceased.

Obon comes from the Buddhist allusion of Moggallam to save his mother from hell.
