(Baonghean.vn) - Every year, on the full moon day of the first lunar month, many people go to temples and pagodas to ward off bad luck. They hope to ward off bad luck in the year, but according to Buddhist beliefs, if you keep doing bad things, you cannot go to the temple to ward off bad luck.
Venerable Thich Tri Khong - Head of the Education Board of Buddhist monks and nuns of Nghe An province talks about the meaning of praying for peace and safety.

In Buddhist teachings, there are no good or bad stars, no good or bad days in the year. Buddhism always condemns superstitious practices, including worshiping stars to ward off bad luck, fortune telling, choosing good or bad days, etc. Photo: Duc Anh |

The most important thing is that we must believe in cause and effect to discipline ourselves and raise our sense of responsibility for our actions. People who do good deeds and have good morals will never be insecure or afraid.
