March 23rd (the 19th day of the second lunar month) is the auspicious birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva. To celebrate the Bodhisattva's birthday and promote Buddhist culture, Guoda Company held a release and blessing ceremony at the Guanyin Temple in Jinchan Lake Park, themed "Respect Life, Build Harmony." Numerous devotees came from all directions to participate in this grand event, resulting in the highest number of visitors to the Guanyin Temple since its opening.
The weather was sunny and bright on the day of the event. From 5 am, many villagers from surrounding villages arrived at the Guanyin Temple one after another, carrying incense, offerings, and aquatic life, to offer incense and pray, waiting for the company-organized release and blessing ceremony.
At 7 am, many cadres and employees arrived at the Guanyin Temple with their own aquatic life. The square in front of the temple was already crowded, and the park roads were still filled with a continuous stream of devotees and tourists coming to pay their respects to Guanyin and pray for blessings. Among them were people over 90 years old, infants in swaddling clothes, and people in wheelchairs. Everyone, with a devout heart, entered the temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, praying for good fortune.
By 9 am, the number of people offering incense and prayers and participating in the release ceremony in front of the Guanyin Temple reached its peak. After a burst of firecrackers, the release and blessing ceremony officially began. The cadres and employees, along with the many devotees, with the beautiful sentiment of "releasing life is saving life, releasing life is compassion, releasing life is accumulating virtue," brought their own, received, and purchased creatures to the fish-viewing platform by Jinchan Lake to release them, allowing the fish to return to nature and regain their freedom, filling themselves with love and experiencing joy.
According to incomplete statistics, 2698 people offered incense and prayers and participated in the release ceremony at the Guanyin Temple on the 19th day of the second lunar month, setting a record for the highest number of people praying for blessings since the opening of the Guanyin Temple. The release and blessing ceremony was a complete success.

Although gold prices rose this week, market volatility has clearly increased.

Therefore, gold prices will continue to fluctuate between safe havens and policy signals, closely monitoring the Federal Reserve's interest rate expectations and global trade sentiment.
