觀音靈簽第四十二簽：典故 Allegory
目蓮是佛門的尊者。 有神通。 他的母親作惡多端。 死後在地獄的餓鬼道受苦。 目蓮設法救度其母。 求助於佛祖。 佛祖唯有叫目蓮設盂蘭盆會。 供養十方僧侶。 並由諸天菩薩施法。 目連照著佛祖的指示去做。 終於解救自己的母親。 並普渡了別人的父母親。 由是農曆七月十五為盂蘭盆節。 佛教稱為「盂蘭盆」法會。 後演變為中元普渡。
Maudgalyayana is a venerable figure in Buddhism, endowed with magical powers. His mother, having committed numerous sins, suffered in the hungry ghost realm in hell after her death. Maudgalyayana endeavoured to save her, seeking assistance from the Buddha. The Buddha could only advise Maudgalyayana to hold an Ullambana ceremony, making offerings to monks from all directions, and have the various gods and Bodhisattvas perform rites. Maudgalyayana followed the Buddha's instructions and was finally able to save his mother, thereby also helping to liberate the parents of others. From this, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar became the Ullambana Festival, also known as the Ullambana Dharma assembly in Buddhism. Later, this evolved into the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts.
