The birth day of Avalokiteshvara and the day of enlightenment are two important festivals in Buddhism. Guanyin Christmas, also known as "Guanyin's Birthday", is one of the important festivals in traditional Chinese culture. On this day, various celebrations are held to express respect and gratitude for Avalokiteshvara.
During this festival, people go to temples to burn incense and pray for blessings, and participate in various charity events to help those in need. In addition, some places will also hold theatrical performances, folk performances and other activities, so that people can spend this special day in joy and peace.
The enlightenment day of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the 16th day of the third lunar month every year. This day is to commemorate the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva practiced and attained enlightenment in the purple bamboo forest of Putuo Mountain. On this day, people also go to the temple to pay respects, pray for blessings, and hold ceremonies such as pujas in the temple to commemorate the enlightenment of Avalokiteshvara. In addition, religious events such as life release and chanting are held in some places to express respect for Avalokiteshvara.
In conclusion, the birth day of Aescarvashvara and the day of enlightenment are very important festivals. These two festivals have a wide influence in traditional Chinese culture and are also an important way for people to express their respect and gratitude for Guanyin.
