今天是农历七月十五，也是人人闻之丧胆的鬼节。
我不明，为什么人人听到中元节/盂兰盆节就毛骨悚然，
我家老弟的朋友也纷纷避免晚上外出，甚至还戴上一些sampo等避邪品。。。
在baidu搜索一番的结果：
佛教称之为“盂兰盆节”传说，有个叫做目莲的人做梦，他梦见自己去世的母亲沦落在饿鬼行列中，于是，他送饭给母亲，却屡屡不行。目莲将此事告诉佛陀，佛陀劝他供养僧众多行善事，以解脱母亲在阴间的罪孽，目莲在七月十五这天作盂兰盆（梵意为“解救倒悬”），于是，佛教僧众集体为木莲母亲念经超脱，使得其母脱离了苦海。由此可见，佛教的七月十五的盂兰盆节，有两层涵义，一是教育人们要供养宗教僧众，二是教育人们多做善事超脱先人罪孽，并提倡孝道。

其实，这不是提醒我们要孝敬父母、树欲静而风不止的时节吗？
