各國的萬圣節之佛塔里的“亡人節”

柬埔寨有著與西方萬圣節類似的節日，即“亡人節”。

In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, which usually falls in September, Cambodian Buddhists celebrate the Pak Ben, 14 days during which they will wake before dawn each morning to prepare offerings of food and other gifts to the monks living in the local pagoda and to their ancestors. 

在佛歷十月，通常是公歷9月份，柬埔寨的佛教徒會慶祝“亡人節”，在這14天中他們每天天亮之前就起床準備食物和其他禮品用作祭品供奉祖先，并分發給住在當地寺廟里的僧人們。

On the 15th day villagers visit the pagoda with offerings of sweet sticky rice and bean treats wrapped in banana leaves and other special foods to mark close of the Pak Ben.

10月15這一天村民會用香蕉葉包著甜糯米飯和豆子還有其他特殊食物一起送到寺廟，“亡人節”儀式到此結束。

The P’chum Ben festival is a day when people wear their finest clothes, get together with family and friends at the local pagoda, and listen to monks.

在“亡人節”這一天人們都穿上最華麗的服裝，和家人朋友聚集在當地寺廟，聽僧侶誦經。
