Fasting to Heaven, also known as offering sacrifices to Heaven, is one of the ritual activities set up by Buddhist temples to pray for all beings. The neatness and integrity of Zhai is the embodiment of dignified cultivation and can arouse people's respect and courtesy. Fast food is timely, fast food is timely food. In this kind of support meeting, both the giver and the receiver should keep their bodies, mouths and hearts clean, and be careful not to slack off.
Mahayana Buddhism believes that although Buddhists do not convert to the heavens, they should worship respectfully, because the heavens can convert to the Buddha, protect the Buddhism, and accumulate merits of quietness, goodness and virtue. Ramadan has the function of praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, so it is loved by the majority of believers.
