We celebrated in advance Goddess Kuan Yin's first birthday of the year with prayers and bhajans on the evening of Sunday, 16th March. There was a good turnout of devotees who sang mostly Mandarin bhajans dedicated to Kuan Yin. Buddhist mantras were also recited at the end of the bhajans. Just before Arathi, a brief explanation on the meaning of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" (which was recited 108 times) and the benefits of reciting it was given.
