Meak Bochea Day, otherwise known as 'Magha Puja' or 'Sangha Day' in other parts of the world. This is an important Buddhist festival celebrated in Cambodia and by Buddhists all over the world on the full moon of the third month of the traditional Khmer calendar, to commemorate the day when the Buddha declared the founding of Buddhism in India in 588 BC, just nine months after his enlightenment.

The formation of Buddhism as a religious organization took place among 1,250 monks, all members of a convention that had brought together people from all walks of life. According to traditional Buddhist history, the monks had gathered on this full moon day because it coincided with the day of Shiva in Hinduism. The monks traveled from different locations to see Lord Buddha, with the story being that all 1,250 had arrived separately without a summoning.

Celebrating Meak Bochea Day means that Buddhists:

1. Correctly understood the importance of this day of worship.

2. Understand the principles and positions of Buddhism.

3. Cultivate pure generosity, become more civilized in the principles of Lord Buddha.

4. Perform the role of Buddhists on this day of Meak Bochea.

5. Help Buddhism to be stable for a long time.

Meak Bochea Day is seen to be a day that measure the quality of Buddhists, as well as a day that sees who is still actively practicing Buddhism today, like a mirror illuminating one’s face. It is believed that if you have the status of a Buddhist, this day should be for showing you are not neglecting your duties, and you are trying to encourage active practice of Buddhism and visiting pagodas to make prayers. For Buddhists, active practice of the religion can help to improve one’s quality of life and one's soul and spirit by following Buddhist principles, doing good deeds and cultivating a healthy mind.

Bangkong villagers still maintain a tradition of catching fish together to prepare food for a traditional spiritual ceremony
Every year, after finishing the rice harvest, the villagers in Bangkong village, Ampil Commune, Prasat Bakong district, Siem Reap province, always gather to fish together to prepare food for a traditional ceremony. This fishing ceremony takes place in an ancient pond where the villagers preserve the fish from overfishing, leaving it only for fishing together during the traditional spiritual ceremony.
Mr. Pich Khin, Chief of Bangkong village, said that in 2023, the fishing ceremony is held on 01 February. This year, the water in the lake has not decreased yet, but there are lots of fish in the pond, so the villagers are happy to catch fish to cook or make Khmer noodle soup for the ceremony. He said that in the early morning, hundreds of elderly people, boys, and girls, holding fishing nets and cages, gather together. Not unlike every year, the organizing committee has set up a place in the pond to catch fish to eat and cook for the monks in the spiritual ceremony, while the fish found in the pond, people can take them home as well. He added that only the villagers in this community allow to catch fish from the pond today while other villagers from other villages are allowed to fish in the pond the next day.
Yoeun Dara, a 24-year-old resident of Bangkong village, said that the joint fishing ceremony in this ancient pond has been a tradition of Bangkong villagers since ancient times because he has seen villagers do it since he was a child. As the next generation, we are committed to preserving the cultural traditions that our ancestors left behind forever to leave for future generations.
It should be noted that the people of Angkor to this day continue to preserve the cultural traditions, both tangible and intangible, left by their ancestors, in which every year, people always come together to celebrate various events around Angkor, such as Lerng Meak, Lerng Neak Ta, Ko Chup ceremony and many other religious ceremonies, all of which are traditions and are the identity of Angkor.

Pchum Ben, which falls on the 15th day of the 10th Khmer month, begins on September 24 this year and marks the start of a 15 day religious festival in Cambodia. The Cambodian buddhists believe that every year the souls of their ancestors are released for 15 days. Pchum Ben marks the start of the journey of souls to purgatory, that in-between place that is neither heaven nor hell. The course of their journey will be decided by their karma and by the offerings made by their living relatives during Pchum Ben. This festival begins at the end of the Buddhist Lent. During this time, foods are cooked for the monks to generate merits that will benefit the dead.

HISTORY OF PCHUM BEN

The 15-day ceremony of Pchum Ben is a time for Cambodians to honor their previous seven generations of ancestors. The first 14 days are known as “Kan Ben” and during this time families gather at nearby pagodas, offering food and prayers to their ancestors to save them from bad karma. The belief is that deceased relatives wait at the pagodas for their loved ones to return to them.

“Ben Thom” on Day 15 sees families bring baskets full of flowers and children offering sticky rice cake to the monks. This is the main festival day and everyone dresses up for the occasion. Cambodians believe their actions on earth shape their appearance as a ghost after death. By praying and offering food during Pchum Ben, the family is helping their ancestors pass on to a better life as well as ensuring their ancestors don’t get angry and curse them.

The festival dates back to the Middle Ages and is among the most important holidays in Cambodia. Nowadays students and workers will return back to their families to observe Pchum Ben with them and make their offerings.

Shiva is known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity which also includes Brahma and Vishnu. In the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is the Supreme Lord who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the goddess-oriented Shakta tradition, the Supreme Goddess (Devi) is regarded as the energy and creative power (Shakti) and the equal complementary partner of Shiva. Shiva is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism. Credit: Wikipedia
