Temple Founding Anniversary

Temple Founding Anniversary

The Temple Founding Anniversary is held on the first Sunday of the third lunar month each year. It is the grandest event of the year at the 125 Tan Phu Guanyin Temple.

This year's celebration is scheduled for April 19, 2026 (the 3rd day of the third month in the lunar Year of the Fire Horse). All devotees are warmly invited to attend and join in the festivities.

Activities

In addition to devotees, representatives from Guanyin temples across various regions and Chinese community organizations are also invited to attend.

Sacred Robe Auction

The ceremony features an auction of sacred robes for Guanyin, Guan Di (God of War), and the Holy Elders, which will be used to dress the statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other deities in new robes.
