【腊八粥的来历】

　　据说在释迦牟尼成佛之前，曾经修苦行多年，饿得骨瘦如柴，决定不再苦行。这时遇见一个牧女，送他乳糜食用。他吃了乳糜，恢复了体力，便端坐在菩提树下入定，于十二月八日成道。夏历以十二月为腊月，所以十二月八日称作腊八。中国汉族地区，将这一天作为释迦牟尼的成道日，于是腊八成了佛教节日。佛教传入我国后，各地兴建寺院，煮粥敬佛的活动也随之盛行起来，尤其是到了腊月初八，祭祀释迦牟尼修行成道之日，各寺院都要举行诵经，并效法佛成道前牧女献乳糜的传说故事，用香谷和果实等造粥供佛，名为腊八粥。这便是腊八粥的来历。

　　然而，还有一个动人的故事：当释迦牟尼在通向他寻求领悟和启发的高山的路上，他又累又饿。由于几天的行走而产生的疲惫，他在印度的一条河边晕倒。一个牧羊女发现了她并喂他午饭，饭是由豆和米做成的粥。于是，释迦牟尼能够继续他的旅程。

　　After six years of strict discipline, he finally realized his dream of full enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Ever since, monks have prepared rice porridge on the eve and held a ceremony the following day, during which they chant sutras and offer porridge to Buddha.
