【慶祝_觀世音菩薩記念日】最吉祥、溫暖的日子！
.
.
「千處祈求千處應，苦海常作度人舟。」
是人們對觀世音菩薩最深的信仰和依賴，祂就好像我們的母親，是慈悲和溫暖的化身。觀音菩薩在漢傳佛教中，是最廣為大眾認識和愛戴的菩薩。
.
那為何農曆六月十九日定為觀世音菩薩成道日？
.
傳說中原有一位「妙善公主」，她生下來就與眾不同，特別喜愛研究佛法，她毫不畏懼，打破了當時傳統意識中，女兒身是不能修行的，祂堅持修行、精進不懈，後來於六月十九日證悟成道，現千手千眼觀世音菩薩相，於是後人便把這一天定為「觀世音菩薩成道日」。
.
再過幾天，7月31日就是觀世音菩薩成道的吉祥節日。
這一天，全球世界各地都燃起了一柱清香，口誦觀世音菩薩聖號，慶祝、並且祝禱這一個吉祥和溫暖的日子，祈望能將這份吉祥也能送給最愛的家人，願最愛的人都能吉祥、幸福！
.
也歡迎大家在這個吉祥的日子，到全球各地「菩提禪堂」共同迎接這份吉祥和光明！

Celebrate Guanyin Bodhisattva Commemoration Day – The most auspicious and heart-warming day!
Why is the 19th day of the 6th lunar month Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment Day?
According to legends, there once lived a princess named Princess Miao Shan. Since birth Princess Miao Shan was very different from the rest as she was particularly interested in Buddhism and had a fearless nature. She broke traditions by practicing self-cultivation and meditation; something which women during those days weren’t allowed to do so. Through intensive and conscientious practice, she gained enlightenment on the 19th day of the 6th lunar month and took on the form of the Thousand-arms and eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva. Hence, that particular day has since been marked as the Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment Day.
Come 31 July 2018, it would be the auspicious Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment Day. On that particular day, people around the world will light incense, chant the Guanyin mantra to celebrate and rejoice in this auspicious and heart-warming day; in the hope of sending the well wishes to their beloved family members and loved ones so that they will be auspicious and enjoy good fortune.
I welcome all to visit our Bodhi Meditation Centers worldwide to receive blessings and illumination on this auspicious day.
