About
- Is it veggie day? cross-references the Vietnamese calendar and the US calendar, highlighting the first and fifteenth days of each Vietnamese month, which are recognized as veggie days in Buddhist religion.
- Onions, Garlic, Scallions, Chives and Leeks, "the five pungent spices" are forbidden for some sects (China, Vietnam) for pretty much the same reason as in Hinduism, they're said to lead to anger (raw) and passion (cooked), but the Buddhists add that their odors repel gods and attract hungry ghosts and demons.
- In some instances, the Vietnamese veggie day (as shown on this page) will not match the Chinese veggie day. This is because the Hanoi new moon differs from the Beijing new moon by one hour and can therefore occur on different days (e.g., 6/7 March 2019).
