Happy Chinese New Year! I am not Chinese but, my country also has a huge celebration for Chinese New Year. In Cambodia we have a festival different from this it’s call Pchum Ben. Pchum Ben is a religious ceremony which is celebrated after the full moon in the tenth month of Phatraboth. Traditionally, it lasts for fifteen days but it is the final day that is the most important. Pchum Ben is the occasion when people remember their ancestors. The word 'ben' refers to the balls of rice which people dedicate to their ancestors during the festival. As well as these balls of rice, each household prepares many kinds of food. When the food has been prepared, it is taken to the pagoda together with incense, candles and flowers and given to the monks. The monks then offer prayers to the Buddha for all those who have died. Buddhists believe that after we have died our spirit, or mind, will be born again. Those who have led a good life will be born into a happy world, but those who have committed harmful sins will be born into an unhappy world.
What a beautiful tradition! I love to know about other cultures and the Asian ones are my favorite!♥️
