e birthday of Ti Tsang P’usa falls on the 30th day of the 7th

moon of the lunar calendar which coincides with the very day

when the gates of Hell closes to mark the end of the Festival

of the Hungry Ghosts. All over the world Buddhist Temples

offer prayers to Ti Tsang P’usa during this yearly Festival for the

benefit of the dead.

Ti Tsang’s popularity among the Chinese and Japanese Buddhists

is second only to Kuan Shih Yin P’usa as he takes upon himself

the fearful and distasteful task of bringing relief and consolation

to suffering beings of hell.
