Come to a bowl of sweet and glutinous Laba porridge, and look forward to all the best in the new year.

Laba porridge, also known as eight-treasure porridge, has "all tastes" inside, and "eight treasures" means auspiciousness.

Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made with various ingredients during the Laba Festival, also called Qibao Wuwei porridge. The custom of Laba porridge is not owned by Buddhism. As a folk custom, eating Laba porridge on December 8 of the lunar calendar to celebrate the harvest has been passed down to this day. The earliest Laba porridge was cooked with red beans. After evolution and local characteristics, it gradually became more colorful. The legend of Laba porridge comes from Tianzhu, India. The eighth day of December in the lunar calendar is the anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment. It is commonly known as the "Laba Festival" and the "Magic Treasure Festival" in Buddhism.
