BIRTHDAY OF THE GODDESS KUAN YIN

 Like many of my fellow Chinese who are either of the Taoist or Buddhist faith, I went to the temple to pray to the Goddess Kuan Yin as today is her birthday.  According to the Chinese lunar calendar, today is the 19th day of the 6th lunar month.
Besides paying homage to the Goddess of Mercy, I also prayed to Kuan Yin to bless me with good health and good luck.
