The Tibetan language is called "Eqiao", which means the October Five Offerings Dharma Assembly, and is commonly known as the Lantern Festival in Chinese. - October 25th is the day when Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug Sect, attained enlightenment and passed away. Monks and lay people express their nostalgia by lighting butter lamps, and praise the merits of Buddhism as a torch of light, which forever dispels darkness and ignorance. In Tibet, the Lantern Festival was founded earlier and was called "Langmai", which means that the flame of Buddhism is shining all over the world. At that time, monks and lay people will light butter lamps in the temple or in front of their own shrines to commemorate it. This festival is a national festival, and almost all monks and lay people will participate and make offerings to the best of their ability. Since Tsongkhapa's two great disciples, Jiayang Chojie and Xianqin Chojie, passed away on October 24th and 26th respectively, and Jamyang II of Labrang Monastery passed away on October 27th, the Lantern Festival of Labrang Monastery also starts on October 25th, but lasts for three days to commemorate the three saints. On the morning of October 25, all the scripture halls and Buddha halls in the temple opened their doors, allowing believers to enter and exit freely, worship and look up to the Buddha statues, and new offerings were placed in front of the Buddha statues. Monks and the public carried butter pots, tsampa boxes, cypress branches and Tibetan incense, and walked through the halls in an endless stream, burning incense, adding oil and kowtowing, prostrating, and turning prayer wheels around the temple. At night, the flat roofs of hundreds of scripture halls, Buddha halls, palaces and other tall buildings in the temple were all lined with rows and rows of butter lamps in vertical and horizontal lines, like the Milky Way falling to the ground, with thousands of stars, brilliant and magnificent, quite spectacular. The sound of the monks chanting praises to Master Tsongkhapa in the night and the regular sound of the trumpets made people feel as if they were in another realm.
