The origin of the Laba Festival: Laba Festival is also known as the Buddha Becoming Buddha Festival. According to legend, Buddha Shakyamuni became Buddha on this day. The Buddha originally practiced in the deep mountains and sat quietly for six years. He was so hungry that he was as thin as a stick. He was about to give up when he happened to meet a shepherdess who gave him food. After finishing his meal, he sat cross legged under the Bodhi and finally became a Buddha on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Since then, Buddhist disciples will give porridge to the world on this day. Under this influence, people also gradually formed the custom of eating Laba Congee on the Laba Festival.
