Summary

According to the Buddha, all Buddhas are born, renounce worldly life, achieve enlightenment, and reach nirvana on the eighth day of the fourth month. This day is auspicious because it is a time of renewal and harmony, free from harsh weather and rampant disease. People should commemorate the Buddha's virtues by bathing Buddha images, which is believed to bring immense blessings and fulfill various desires, from spiritual enlightenment to worldly prosperity and long life.
