SUMMARY:ຕັກບາດ ບຸນອອກພັນສາ - Boun Okphansa
DESCRIPTION:Boun Ok Phansa – also Ork Phansa\, marks Buddha’s return to earth and signifies the end of Buddhist Lent when after three months of retreat\, the monks return to their daily social activities. At dawn of Boun Ok Phansa\, followers gather at temples across Lao to give donations and offerings. In the evening\, beautiful candlelit processions are held at the temples and hundreds of colorful floats of flowers\, incense\, and candles float down the Mekong River. To prepare for the celebration\, families make a small round container to put candles\, flowers\, incense or food and money. \nAt the bank of the Mekong\, they then light the candles\, say prayers and send the boat of light floating away down the river. This tradition is observed to pay respect to the river spirits\, especially the Mekong River\, which means Mother of All Things. People also believe that this is a way to send away all negativity such as sickness\, bad luck\, shortcoming\, and failure. \nThe end of Buddhist Lent is also celebrated with fabulous boat races along the Mekong River in Vientiane. \nRead more…
