Today marks Guan Yin's Renunciation Day, one of the three major occasions dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Chinese Buddhist tradition.
But what exactly are we commemorating, and how can we honour it meaningfully?
Beyond the familiar legends, prayers, and offerings lies a profound Buddhist teaching about letting go of attachment and cultivating compassion.
In this post, we explore the history behind this occasion, what renunciation really means, and how we can begin practising it in our own lives.
May all beings be free from suffering.
