Laba Festival celebrated with free porridge

Tourists line up for Laba porridge at the Yonghe Lama Temple where making and giving away the porridge are traditions. The festival was originally a day of thanks for a good harvest and sacrifice to ancestors. It also marks the day in which Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, achieved enlightenment and became immortal. [Photo/IC]
