Kuan
Yin: Mother of Compassion


Dimensions: 20" x 35"

An
image of Kuan Yin fills the living space with the sweet, yet powerfully
transformative energy of the Divine. Kuan Yin is considered a Savioress who will
travel the world even to save one soul from suffering.



The female Bodhisattva, Kuan Yin: Kuan means to inquire or look deeply into; Yin
means cries. The Boddhisatva of Compassion is said to inquire into the suffering
(cries) of humanity for generations. Kuan Yin is considered to be the feminine
form of the bodhisattva of compassion.




Although Kuan
Yin was still being portrayed as a male as late as the tenth century, with the
introduction of Tantric Buddhism into China in the eighth century during the
T'ang Dynasty, the image of the celestial bodhisattva as a beautiful white-robed
goddess was predominant and the devotion surrounding her became increasingly
popular. By the ninth century there was a statue of Kuan Yin in every Buddhist
monastery in China. Despite the controversy over the origins of Kuan Yin as a
feminine being, the depiction
of
a bodhisattva as both 'god' and 'goddess' is consistent with Buddhist doctrine.
The scriptures explain that a bodhisattva has the power to embody in any
form--male, female, child, even animal, depending on the type of being he is
seeking to save. As the Lotus Sutra relates, the bodhisattva Kuan Yin, "by
resort to a variety of shapes, travels in the world, carrying beings to
salvation."



In the
tradition of the Great White Brotherhood, Kuan Yin is known as the Ascended Lady
Master who bears the title of "Goddess of Mercy" because she embodies the God
qualities of mercy, compassion and forgiveness.
