IT IS BEST TO REFRAIN FROM ANY EVIL THOUGHTS OR DEEDS ON THE 15TH DAY OF THE 8TH LUNAR MONTH

Master Jun Hong Lu: Why do the Chinese attach such great importance to the 15th day of the 8th lunar month? Do not hold ill-will or commit any evil deeds on that day. If you do, your deeds will be thoroughly reprehensible.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, it is not about the reunion among humans but the reunion of humans and heaven. This is because many Bodhisattvas will descend to this world, hence, it makes sense to confide in Bodhisattvas on this day.
