Lamp Offering for Blessing on Guan Yin Bodhisattva Festival

Coinciding with the Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s Festival on the 19th day of the 2nd lunar month, Sau Seng Lum Buddhist Temple held the “Lamp Offering for Blessing” event, praying for the blessing of Guan Yin Bodhisattva to be free from suffering. Also, pray for a peaceful world free from war, and the well-being of the country, may our country prosper and the nation be at peace.

The Guan Yin Bodhisattva listens to all the voices, guiding and saving sentient beings with great vows. The celebration of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva Festival aims to promote the compassionate and dedicated spirit of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva, to encourage devotees to maintain their great aspirations and perseverance in practicing bodhicitta diligently.

Guan Yin Bodhisattva is the incarnation and embodiment of all goodness in the hearts of sentient beings, as well as compassion, wisdom, and bodhi. Devotees hold infinite admiration and respect for His great compassion and saviour spirit. On that day, the Thousands Arm & Thousands Eyes Guan Yin Hall in the temple was filled with lights and colourful flowers.

The Abbess, Rev. Chang Heng encourages devotees to make great vows and long-term execution. With the compassion of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, one should give and care for the public. One should realize that all sentient beings have Buddha-nature and should become Buddhas. If one can always have compassion for all sentient beings, then one’s thought of compassion can make us Guan Yin Bodhisattva.

“Follow the example of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, giving confidence, joy, hope, and convenience to others in our lives. We learn to steer clear of worries, selfishness and perplexity in our lives, transform resistance into assistance, and resolve everything with compassion. Hence, we can improve our wisdom in dealing with various challenges, adversities, and worldly matters.”
