为让众生得离苦，观音菩萨选择了出家修行的道路，以成佛的志向作为其生命的宗旨。   

 菩萨精进修行，而获得诸多功德，一如祂示现自在坐姿，对苦恼的众生能自在地拔苦予乐。如《大乘无量寿经解》云：「遍观法界众生随其机缘，而自在拔苦与乐，故名观自在」。  

 与其在苦海中沉沦，坐等菩萨救护，何不效学观音菩萨发心，学习以广大智慧与慈悲心量，帮助自他离苦得乐？   

 诚邀大家于观音出家日，学习菩萨的精神，诵经吃素，行善集资！   

In order to free all living beings from suffering, Guan Yin Bodhisattva chose the path of a renunciate, with the ultimate aim of achieving enlightenment as the purpose of  life.   

The Bodhisattva practiced diligently and gained vast merits. Like her royal ease sitting posture, he could easily relieve sufferings and render happiness to suffering beings.   Instead of immersing in the sea of suffering and waiting for Bodhisattva’s help, why not learn from her aspiration and accumulate vast wisdom and compassion to help sentient beings to eradicate sufferings and attain happiness?   

We sincerely invite you to practise the spirit of the Bodhisattva, recite sutra, eat vegetarian food, and do more good deeds on Guan Yin Renunciation Day!
