2. The Buddha Bath Festival, also known as Buddha's Birthday and Buddha's Birthday Festival, is the eighth day of the fourth lunar month every year, which is the birthday of Buddha Sakyamuni. Born in 623 BC, Sakyamuni Buddha was the prince of Kapilowei (present-day Nepal), an ancient Indian kingdom. It is an important ceremony in ancient Indian Buddhism, and its source lies in the historical record of the birth of Sakyamuni.
3. Legend has it that when Sakyamuni was born, he touched the sky with one finger, touched the ground with one finger, shook the earth, and spat water in Kowloon for a bath. Buddhists of all nationalities in the world often commemorate the Buddha's birthday by bathing Buddha.
