Celebrating Guan Yin's Birthday March 27, 2016

Warmest spiritual greetings, Water-Moon Goddess Guan Yin's birthday is celebrated this year on March 27th.  This day is ultra-auspicious, and is a rare opportunity to express your love for the reflection of the spiritual Absolute, who gazes at the reflection of the moon in water (which symbolizes the inherent emptiness of all phenomena).  Her smile imparts confidence, for all activities in the defense of Mother Earth.

Her mantram is: Namo Guan Shi Yin Pusa
