The noun Vu Lan is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Ullambana, translated by the Chinese as Giai Dao Huyen, which means to rescue the suffering of hanging upside down. The Chinese also call this ceremony VU LAN BAN, the word "Bon" means a bowl for offering food. Also called Olambanoa. Translated as a mythical island, indicating extreme suffering.
