Animal Liberation on 4 Nov
"Of all misgivings, killing is the worst. Of all meritorious deeds, life liberation is the best."-The Sastra on Great Wisdom (Da Zhi Du Lun)
The 4th of November (Thursday) is Lha Bab Duchen, one of the four GREAT FESTIVAL days in Buddhism, at which time the effects of positive and negative actions are multiplied 10 million times. Lha Bab Duchen is the day when Buddha Shakyamuni's descent from Indra's heaven where Buddha's mother was reborn after she died n our world. To repay her kindness and to liberate her, and also to benefit the gods, Buddha spent three months teaching in the realm of the gods - in Indra's heaven.
This event is well-documented in the Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
