About The Artwork

Stemming from the story of the Venerable Muc Lien Lien (one of the two great disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha) with great filial piety saved his mother from the hungry ghost life. Vu Lan is an annual holiday to commemorate the merit of parents (and ancestors in general) - parents of this life and of previous lives. According to the Vu Lan sutra, in the past, Muc Kien Lien successfully cultivated many miracles. His mother, Thanh De, has passed away. He remembers and wants to know what his mother is like, so he looks around heaven and earth with his eyes. Seeing his mother, because he caused many bad karma, he had to be born as a hungry ghost, suffering from hunger and suffering, he brought rice to hell to offer his mother. However, due to long-term hunger, his mother, when eating, used one hand to cover her rice bowl to prevent other spirits from coming to fight, so when the food brought to her mouth turned red. Also according to the Vu-Lan-tub sutra, Muc Kien Lien returned to find the Buddha to ask how to save his mother, Buddha taught that: "No matter how generous the god is, it is not enough to save his mother. There is only one way to help him. The power of the monks in all ten directions will hope to be rescued. The full moon day of the seventh month is a suitable day to offer the monks, please prepare the rituals on that day ". [2] Following the Buddha's words, Muc Lien's mother was freed. Buddha also teaches that: sentient beings who want to report filial piety to their parents also in this way (Vu-Lan-Bon Dharma). Since then, Vu-Lan festival was born
