10 Is March the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva?

March 10 is the first Guanyin birthday in 2023. There are three Guanyin birthdays every year, namely Guanyin Bodhisattva Christmas Day (February 19), Guanyin Bodhisattva Daoism Day (June 19) and Guanyin Bodhisattva Monk Day (September 19).

Guanyin birthday is a festival of Chinese folk beliefs. Guanyin, also known as Guanyin, is free, commonly known as Guanyin Bodhisattva and Guanyin Empress. One of the four Great Bodhisattvas, Amitabha is the first Bodhisattva. In Buddhism and among the people, he is regarded as a compassionate, compassionate and responsive bodhisattva. All sentient beings in trouble will recite their names, and will immediately save and solve them, hence the name Guanyin.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, the name of Buddhist Bodhisattva, is a free translation of Sanskrit Avalokite_vara, which is also translated into Guangshiyin. The new translations are Guanziyu and Guanshiyu. Amitabha is one of the "Three Sages of the West". Buddhism believes that avalokitesvara is a bodhisattva with great compassion, and all victims only need to recite its name, "Bodhisattva can watch its voice immediately" and rescue themselves, hence the name. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's name was taboo, so he changed the word "world" to "Guanyin" for short.
