Pchum Ben Day
October is the month when Cambodian individuals commend the celebration of Phchum Ben. Together with Khmer New Year in April, Phchum Ben is the most critical celebration in the Khmer religious date-book. Cambodians have reliably watched the celebration consistently for whatever length of time that anybody can recollect.
"Ben" in Khmer intends to gather; "Ben" likewise intends to glass or shape cooked rice into segments. To 'Ben Baht' intends to gather sustenance to provide for friars. "Phchum" intends to gather or to meet together. In any case how bustling they might be amid the fifteen days of Phchum Ben.
Cambodian individuals do whatever it takes not to miss a visit to the pagoda to commit sustenance and offerings to the dead.
The celebration's last day, September 28th, is the genuine day of Phchum Ben, when individuals generally meet together at the pagoda, said the Venerable Ly Sovy of Lang Ka pagoda.
By doing this, Cambodians show regard for their precursors. Everybody goes to the pagoda consistently to respect this custom, and no one gripes.
"By conviction, individuals feel frustrated about and recollect their relatives who have passed away," Ly Sovy said. "They might be their guardians, grandparents, a sister, a sibling, little girl or child."
Om Sam Ol, a minister at Steung Meanchey pagoda, clarified more about the convictions behind the celebration: "Amid Phchum Ben, souls and spirits come to get offerings from their living relatives," he said.
"It is trusted that a percentage of the dead get discipline for their transgressions and copy in damnation - they endure a great deal and are tormented there," he included. "Damnation is a long way from individuals; those souls and spirits can't see the sun; they have no garments to wear, no nourishment to eat," Om Sam Ol proceeded. "Phchum Ben is the period when those spirits get offerings from their living relatives and maybe increase some help. Relatives bless and devote nourishment and different offerings to them."
Everybody goes to the pagoda since they don't need the spirits of dead individuals from their family to come to look for offerings at pagodas futile. It is trusted that pondering spirits will go to look in seven changed pagodas and if those spirits can not locate their living relatives' putting forth in any of those pagodas, they will revile them, since they can't eat sustenance offered by other individuals," the friar said.
"At the point when the living relatives offer the sustenance to the soul, the soul will favor them with satisfaction", he included.
By minister, legend has it that Phchum Ben happened in light of the fact that relatives of King Bath Pempeksa resisted religious traditions and ate rice before the friars did amid a religious custom. After their passing, they got to be abhorrent spirits.
He clarified that later when a minister known as Kokak Sonthor picked up illumination and turned into a Buddha on earth, every one of those detestable spirits went to ask him "when would we be able to eat?"
The Buddha said "you need to sit tight for the following Buddha in the Kathakot Buddhist domain. In this domain, abhorrent spirits can't eat."
At the point when the following minister, Kamanou, accomplished illumination and turned into a Buddha, all the insidious spirits came back again to ask the same inquiry, and he gave the same answer as the past Buddha.
Later another friar, Kasakbour, accomplished edification and turned into a Buddha, and the eager fiendishness spirits again made the same inquiry. The Buddha let them know the same thing - to sit tight for the following Buddha.
The last Buddha, Preah Samphot - additionally referred to likewise as Samanakkodom - said to the detestable spirits, "Sit tight for your relative, King Bath Pempeksa, to offer benefits and devotion. At the point when the commitment is made, the nourishment will be yours to eat."
Lord Pempeksa at last made an offering, however he didn't commit the offering to the spirits of his relatives. Every one of the spirits that were identified with him cried that night. What's more, when King Bath Pempeksa went to the Valovan pagoda to visit the Buddha, he was told by the Buddha that, "Every one of the spirits of your relatives are crying, requesting nourishment. The spirits ought to get sustenance in the domain of Kathakot. Despite the fact that you offered nourishment and did great deeds, you didn't commit the sustenance and great deeds to them." So King Bath Pempeksa made another devotion and offering, and this time he committed the sustenance and benefits to his relatives. The abhorrent spirits got the devotion and were at last renewed into heaven.
"It is trusted that a portion of the dead get discipline for their transgressions and copy in damnation - they endure a ton and are tormented there," he included. "Hellfire is a long way from individuals; those souls and spirits can't see the sun; they have no garments to wear, no nourishment to eat," Om Sam Ol proceeded. "Phchum Ben is the period when those spirits get offerings from their living relatives and maybe increase some help. Relatives sanctify and commit sustenance and different offerings to them."
