Origin of the date of Quoc Tu .

The full moon of July is known as the feast day, which is also the fourth day of Su Tu Tu. According to Buddhist tradition, the disciples of the Buddha's ordained must ban An live in three months of rainy season. [1]  Rituals on the last day of the Retreat, which all monks gather together, present the faults they have committed to other monks, and repent so called. Take it easy. [2]  This is the law of the Buddha in both traditional and traditional Mahayana.

The Fourth Text, Pāli is  Pavāranā  (Skt;  Pravāranā ),Chinese transliteration Air-la Bat,  Bat-profit-three-crackers-noa, translated as  fulfillment, joy browser, depending from time, etc .. Slowly arbitrary say enough is slowly Occasionally. Self is, above all, inviting, petitioning. Self-righteous self-errors, errors or requests to the great monk teach all mistakes for yourself. These errors are seen, heard, or suspected by the monks.

The ritual of the day of self-sufficiency: Each bent-knee before the mass increase self-sincerity speaks of his mistakes have been committed accidentally or intentionally from the body - speech make up. When they are raised only errors, sincerity repentance, not argue, not being born mind of affliction, anger. Therefore, the full moon in July is the day expressing the spirit of recovery, the day of nurturing high morality. This repentance makes them increase purity, self-birth, so this day is also called "Buddha's happy day" because they see their disciples have a spirit of good direction, look back and repair the Mistake to sublimate on the path of liberation.

In the Buddhist tradition, Tu Tu Quoc is very important to the moral life of the monk. The Fourth Self not only represents the purity and harmony of the Sangha, but also signifies the "moral virtue" of the great monk. The person who commits sin with compassion, the person who is condemned with the heart of good direction full of joy. So, Tu Tu is the occasion for monks to book together, spiritual growth. In the past, it was the Blessed One - the Master of Nhon Thien, who also practiced Quoc Tu. In the scripture also records that: a time of the Blessed One in Srāvasti  at Lecturer hallway with the masses of monks have attained Arahantship . At that time, on the full moon day Ba-Tu Tat Tu, the Sun sitting in the sky, there are masses-bikers around.See the great monks calm, silent he immediately said:  "Monks, Now I invite you to say, Do you have anything to criticize me or not, about body or speech? [3]

Venerable Sāriputta from his seat stood up, covered his upper shoulders with one shoulder, reverently bowed hands to greet the Sun and said: " Lord, we have no criticism. About body or speech. Lord Buddha, the path does not arise, the Sun makes birth; The road is unknown, the Blessed One made clear; The road has not been preached, the Buddha preached. The Sun religious knowledge, understanding the virtues, virtues; And the Blessed One, the disciples are now religious practitioners, and will be accomplished (later) . " [4]

After the presentation to the Exalted and the masses so finished. The Buddha immediately told the Buddha, " I would like the Blessed One to say, Blessed is there anything criticized me or not, about body or speech? " [5]

The Buddha replied:  "Sariputta, I have nothing to criticize you about your body, or about words.Sariputta, You are the Great Place. Sariputta, He is the Place of the Mind. Sariputta, You are the Speed. Sariputta, He is a wise man. Sariputta, He is a Diligent. Sariputta, he is the level of mind.Sariputta, like the son of a king, the king of kingship, transported by the king was transported by his father. Likewise, this Sāriputta, the righteous man, transforms the supreme truth that has been conveyed by Me . [6]

Venerable Sariputta goes on to say, "If the Blessed One has nothing to criticize  you about your body or your words, the Blessed One, for about five hundred bhikkhus, the Blessed One has nothing to say. Relatives or about words? [7]

This is also the origin of the development of Tu Tu Tu, a noble tradition in Buddhism. Today, this tradition is still preserved and practiced solemnly as a Buddhist statute. Fourth Day is also a chance for them to express the spirit of harmony - a vital element maintaining the Buddhist circuit and at the same time to promote the development of good practice, advancement of the profession.
