缅甸点灯节的来历
缅甸点灯节（Thadingyut Festival）是缅甸重要的传统节日之一，源自佛教文化，通常在缅历第七个月（通常为阳历的十月）举行，标志着佛陀结束三个月雨季修行回到人间的时刻。根据传说，佛陀在天堂为母亲讲经三个月后，乘金梯返回人间。为迎接佛陀的回归，缅甸民众会在家中、街道和寺庙点灯，以示敬意和欢庆。因此，点灯节不仅是宗教节日，也是人们祈求平安和表达感恩的时刻。
The Origin of Myanmar Thadingyut Festival
The Thadingyut Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals in Myanmar, originates from Buddhist culture. It is typically held in the seventh month of the Myanmar calendar (usually in October in the Gregorian calendar), marking the time when Buddha returns to the human world after completing a three-month retreat during the rainy season. According to legend, Buddha preached to his mother in heaven for three months and descended back to Earth via a golden ladder. To welcome Buddha’s return, Myanmar people light lamps in homes, streets, and temples as a sign of respect and celebration. The festival is not only religious but also a time for prayers of peace and gratitude.
