Pchum ben festivsl In Cambodia

 Pchum ben is one of the most important festivals in Khmer religion and it is celebrated for three days, 19th, 20th, 21st. Cambodian people always organize their home and prepare food to go to pagoda. My family and I had many activities to do in these three days.

For the first day, I had some activities to do in this day. In the morning my family and I visited my grandmother’s home. When we arrived, my aunt was calling my mum and I went to the pagoda to dedicate merits to my deceased. When we came back to grandmother’s home and we had a small discussion. Then we had gone to market to buy food and ingredients for tomorrow events. After lunch, my parents took a rest and I went to coffee shop with my friend to play game and eat snack. In the evening, I had eaten spicy noodle at river side with my parents before we started to prepare some food for tomorrow.

For the second day, I had a lot of actions to do in this second day. In the morning I need to wake up early to help my parents to prepare the food. At 9:20, we had already finished and we went to pagoda all together. When we arrived, we brought the food to offer to the monks then they made dedication to my ancestors.  My mum and her sister in law went to offer the lotus to the Buddha and brought the rice to join Rob Bart ceremony. Furthermore, when we came back home then we had a big lunch together. It was so delighted when all of my family members got together, I can called it is the best family reunion ever. After lunch, I had helped my family to wash dishes and took the rubbish to throw away before I went out with my friend to have a small party. In the evening I went to the party and we discussed about the plan to go frog cave pagoda at tomorrow morning. After the party finished, my friend and I went to sightseeing in my hometown. It was a great night for me because my hometown was so interesting.

For the last day, I had multiple activities to do in this last day. In the morning I went to the pagoda again with my friends which we had already discussed since yesterday evening. Before we went there, we had gone to market to buy something to offer the monks. When we arrived there, it was so fascinated because of good nature around the pagoda. It was so beautiful place and then we brought some presents to offer the monks. After that we had visited frog cave, it was an interesting cave that I had never seen before. In the afternoon we went to Bannon temple to have lunch together, it was so joyful. In the evening I went to the park with my mum to accompany her do exercise and then we went to eat porridge at White rose restaurant. It was glad and full of happiness.

In conclusion, during these three days of the Pchum Ben festival I had a lot of activities to do.  So it was very happy and a great time for me because I can meet all of my family and my friends. I can say that Pchum Ben festival was one of the best memorable day for me.

Pchum Ben Festival

Pchum Ben Festival is a public holiday in Cambodia that follows the period called "Vassa," a kind of "Buddhist Lent," and has been kept with great devotion by the Khmer people for longer than anyone can remember.

In essence, Pchum Ben is a time to remember, venerate, and present food offerings to one's deceased relatives. Ancestors are honoured going back as far as seven generations, and offerings are also brought for those without living descendants or in place of those who could not attend the ceremonies. Celebrants rise early in the morning to cook rice balls and other food items, which they bring to the monks at temples and pagodas. The monks chant suttas (Buddhist scriptures) all night without sleeping, then conduct the colourful and complex food offering ceremonies. Some Khmer give the food to the priests, while others leave it at pagodas for their deceased relatives to eat or cast it into a field for them to find. The first fourteen days see many offerings made, but it is the final, fifteenth day, that is the grand culmination of the whole period.

Pchum Ben is also the time when the "gates of hell" are supposed to open and let out those imprisoned there to travel to the land of the living to receive food from their relatives. Some are let out only temporarily, while others are thought to gain permanent relief. Offerers believe they receive merits by helping the dead and blessings from them but curses if they fail in their familial duty.

Cambodians all over the country will travel to their home provinces for Pchum Ben, and there are services in many towns and villages. Most ceremonies involve processions around temples and crowds that wait outside with lit incense in hand as the monks perform rituals inside. There are also symbolic events where five mounds of sand or rice are formed and decorated in an effort to point to Mount Meru, where various Buddhist gods are thought to reside.
