Happy Laba Festival-How do you celebrate Laba Festival?

Children, don’t be greedy, after Laba Festival it will be the New Year. Drink Laba porridge for a few days, it will be the twenty-third. The nursery rhymes are still ringing in my ears, and it is Laba Festival again. How did everyone celebrate Laba Festival this year? In the past few years since we moved back to Chengde, our whole family would gather at Puning Temple every Laba Festival to participate in the Tibetan Buddhist temple's porridge-giving activity. Speaking of Puning Temple, I think most people don't have any impression of it, but when it comes to the Mountain Resort and the Eight Outer Temples Scenic Area, everyone must be a little familiar with it, because the Mountain Resort and the Eight Outer Temples are listed as world cultural heritage together. Puning Temple is one of the Tibetan Buddhist temples among the Eight Outer Temples. Although it is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, its architecture combines Han and Tibetan styles. The front half of the temple is Han style, with the characteristics of traditional Han Buddhist temples, while the back half is Tibetan style, modeled after the Sangyuan Temple in Tibet. The main Buddha statue in Puning Temple is the Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is 27.21 meters tall. It is a gold-painted wood carving. Puning Ancient Temple stands on the top of the mountain. The Buddhist rhyme lasts for a long time. In the hearts of Chengde people, this is a temple that carries history and culture, and it is also a temple that brings people hope and faith. When Laba Festival comes, porridge will be distributed, and the ingredients for making the porridge will first be chanted, blessed and offered. The masters from Puning Temple distributed them to the citizens, bringing the best wishes to everyone. A warm winter, a peaceful time. Holding hot porridge in hand, a year is complete. At the end of the year, warm porridge, a warm and cozy place. May you and I be safe and happy, and may everything be "porridge" perfect. Every city has its own culture. How did you spend Laba Festival this year? Welcome to share with us.
