Guan Yin Dan, or Guan Yin's Birthday, is a significant occasion in Mahayana Buddhism that celebrates the birth of Guan Yin (Avalokiteshvara), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Guan Yin is revered for her boundless compassion, mercy, and commitment to alleviating the suffering of all sentient beings. She is regarded as an enlightened being who, out of deep compassion, chooses to remain in the world to guide and support others on their spiritual journey, embodying the highest ideals of selflessness and unconditional love.

Join us at Singapore Buddhist Mission as we celebrate Guan Yin Dan, the birthday of Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This auspicious day honours Guan Yin’s boundless compassion and her vow to aid all beings in overcoming suffering. Through prayers, offerings, and acts of kindness, we aspire to cultivate compassion in our own lives and follow Guan Yin’s example of selfless love and support for all. All are welcome to participate in this meaningful celebration.
