The Practice of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (观音菩萨)

Today is the Enlightenment day of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, who is also known as Guan Yin Pu Sa. He is the embodiment of great compassion, and He can appear in any form in all the six realms of existence to relieve the suffering of the sentient beings. 
Today there be many devotees praying at Waterloo Street Kuan Imm Cho Hood temple in Singapore. I spent the day today chanting Om Mani Padme Hum and Heart Sutra.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (观音菩萨) Guanyin is the most popular Bodhisattva in East Asian. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is known to the Chinese as Guanyin 观音菩萨. Guanshiyin means "The one who Perceives the Sounds of the World."
