Three birthdays of Guanyin

Guanyin has three birthdays, which are February 19, June 19 and September 19.

1, February of the lunar calendar 19-birthday.

According to legend, a long time ago, the kingdom of the western regions was also called the king. It is said that he has three daughters, namely, the eldest daughter Miao Yin, the second daughter Miao Yuan and the youngest daughter Miao Shan. Guanyin Bodhisattva, as people say, is the incarnation of the youngest daughter, Miaoshan, who was born on February 19th of the lunar calendar. According to legend, when she was born, she was surrounded by auspicious clouds. When she grew up, she was brilliant and loved Buddhism, so she was called "Three Empresses" by the world. This is the origin of Guanyin bodhisattva's birthday.

On this day, the gate of the temple will open earlier than usual, because on this day, women will go to Kannonji to burn incense and worship, and pray that the Bodhisattva can bless themselves to have children. In addition, according to the records in Jinling Times, on this day, good men and women need vegetarian food, so it is also called Guanyin.

2. June 19th of the lunar calendar-becoming a monk.

With the growth of age, Wang's eldest daughter and second daughter Miaoyuan became monks one after another. However, Miaoshan, who was unwilling to follow the steps, decided to become a monk, but Wang was furious when he learned that Miaoshan was demoted to Shu Ren and expelled from the palace. It was the 19th lunar month, and Miao Shan, who was driven out of the palace, chose to become a monk in Baique Temple in Xiangshan. Since then, Miaoshan began to carry out a comprehensive reform of Buddhism, which became more complicated, so people changed it to the lunar calendar.

In the folk, there are many people who pay homage to Guanyin on September 19th of the lunar calendar. I hope Guanyin Bodhisattva can bless herself and make her happy and safe.

3. September 19th of the lunar calendar-Taoist Day.

Later, King Miao Zhuang was seriously ill, and Miaoshan treated King Miao Zhuang with his own hands and eyes. Deeply moved, he wanted to restore his hand-eye, and ordered a whole hand-eye for Miaoshan. The craftsman mistakenly heard that it was a thousand hands and thousands of eyes, so he had a thousand hands and thousands of eyes Guanyin. Later, Princess Miaoshan practiced for nine years and achieved a positive result on June 19th of the lunar calendar.

According to custom, Kannonji is crowded with people at this time of year. On this day, people will pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva, because this day is the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva becomes a monk, so many people will pray for peace and health at this time.
