The origin of the festival of welcoming God
God-welcoming Festival is a grand traditional festival in the Ministry of Industry. In Tibetan, it is called "Mother doesn't pull Su", which means "Mother doesn't pull people for treasure hunting". This festival is one of the traditional customs of Tibetans. It was held on August 10 in Tibetan calendar, with a history of more than 660 years. There is a legend about the origin of the Festival of Greeting the Gods. A long time ago, there was a small town called Keshimu in the east of Linzhi County. There is a rich man named Bian Baduoduo in the town. He keeps a large flock of sheep at home, led by a magical female goat. Every night, they found the female goat missing, but the next morning, she returned to the sheepfold. One day, the shepherd tied a thread around the ewe's neck and held the other end of the thread by himself. At night, the ewe leaves the sheepfold with a thread around her neck. After a long time, the thread on the shepherd's hand suddenly stopped moving. The shepherd took in the line and walked along it. After walking for a long time, he found that the female goat was sitting on the ground in the posture of sucking the goat's milk from the hill, under a big pine tree in front of him. There was a shining stone under the tree, and the shepherd hurried back to report to his master. When the master heard this, he ordered the shepherd to hurry back and get the shiny stone back.

Since the stone sacrifice in Bianbaduoduo, there has been good weather and no famine in the Ministry of Industry. The grain harvest is getting better year by year, and the number of cattle and sheep is getting more and more year by year. At that time, the tribes such as Hall and Qamdo Dingqing, who lived in the Ministry of Industry, all knew the news and wanted to get gems from Bianbaduoduo.

Later, after they learned that Bianbaduoduo was a philanthropist with great Buddha nature, one of them disguised as a businessman and went to Bianbaduoduo to pretend to be poor, asking Bianbaduoduo to sell him the flash stone. Bianbaduoduo couldn't stand the poor man's repeated requests, so he sold him the flash stone. Since then, the local climate in Kampot Semu has deteriorated, with drought or rain and waterlogging, the number of cattle and sheep has decreased, and the plague has spread between people and animals. Seeing the strange phenomenon in front of them, the Kampot people, led by Bianbaduoduo, came to the venerable yogi together to ask the reason. The yogi told them: "The rare gem in the world is the incarnation of avalokitesvara. They sold it to businessmen with money, and their blessings disappeared. If you try to get the gem back, you will have the same blessing as before. "

When the workers heard about it, they sent people to Dingqing Poor Cloth many times, trying to buy back the gems, but they always returned empty-handed. They came to the yogi for advice, and the yogi told them another way: to hold a grand worship festival on August 10 every year in the Tibetan Year of the Horse, and bring back blessings. According to the yogi, the Kampot people held a grand festival to summon the gods on the tenth day of the Tibet Iron Horse Year. Once, when people were holding a festival, gems flew from Dingqing poor place and fell into the dancing crowd. Since then, this festival in the Ministry of Industry has never stopped.
