Ceremonies in Buddhism

Ceremonies in Buddhism

Buddhism is a religion based around finding enlightenment.  The founder, Buddha, was said to have reached perfect enlightenment and all of his followers seek to do the same.  In Buddhism, there are numerous ceremonies that are part of the religion and aid the followers in their beliefs.  One of the most appealing aspects of Buddhism to most people is the fact that you can follow the teachings of Buddha and still retain another religion.  Because of the fact that Buddhism is more of a way of life than a religion, many people are able to do this.  So, many ceremonies and practices in Buddhism are combined and intermixed with the ceremonies and practices of other religions.

In Buddhism there are many common festivals that are celebrated throughout the year.  These festivals vary depending on which Buddhist country one is looking at.  For example, many of the common festivals in China may differ from those in India or Sri Lanka.  Still, there are many festivals and ceremonies that are universal to all countries in which Buddhism is present.

In China, many festivals were dedicated to important people from Chinese Buddhist history (Eliade 347).  At
