(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)
AS THERE’S NO 30TH DAY ON THE SEVENTH LUNAR MONTH IN YEAR 2020, WHICH DAY SHALL WE REGARD AS THE BIRTHDAY OF KSITIGARBHA BODHISATTVA?
Caller: Some Buddhist friends enquire about the Birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva which falls on the 30th day of the Seventh Lunar Month, as there’s no 30th day in the said month this year, do we regard the 29th day, which is the last day of the Seventh Lunar Month, as the Birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Let me check with the Bodhisattva… Yes, that’s right.
Caller: Master, you mentioned before that amnesty will be granted to the suffering souls in the Underworld on the birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Although we commemorate the birthday on the 29th day of the month this year, you will still have to mention that “the birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva falls on the 30th day” when you pray.
