| | KUAN YIN: Compassionate Saviouress |
 | | 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 devotional cult surrounding her became increasingly popular. | | | Scholars believe that the Buddhist monk and translator Kumarajiva was the first to refer to the female form of Kuan Yin in his Chinese translation of the Lotus Sutra in 406 A.D. Of the thirty-three appearances of the bodhisattva referred to in his translation, seven are female. | | | Kuan Yin is considered to be the feminine form of Avalokitesvara(Sanskrit), the bodhisattva of compassion of Indian Buddhism whose worship was introduced into China in the third century. |

| | Kuan Yin |
| | Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy, is originally known as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the Lotus Sutra, a Buddhist text written in the ancient Indian language Sanscript. | | | She is one of the four great Bodhisattva, but notably known in the feminine form, of Buddhism. | | | As a Bodhisattva, the true enlightened one, who most embodies compassion, and, the name Avalokitesvara implies as the one who reaches out for cries of the world, Kuan Yin delayed her entry into Nirvana for the salvation of the suffering ones. |

| | Her mantra is 'Om Mani Padme Hum.' (that is, 'Hail the Jewel -or pearl- in the Lotus.') Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokitesvara, who is the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. | | | In Asia, statues of Kuan Yin can be found in front of, or on the grounds of, many Buddhist temples. | | | She might be seated or standing on a lotus blossom, which is one of the main symbols of Buddhist purity, since it a beautiful flower that grows out of mud. |

| | Kuan Yin-The Way of Mercy |
| | Note: Throughout the book, I have referred to Kuan Yin as "She." In the Orient, Kuan Yin is also often perceived as masculine. | | | In the Buddhist scripture called the Sutra of the Great Compassion Heart Mantra, the bodhisattva or savioress Kuan Yin names ten hearts, or aspects of heart, which are the expression of her universal, supreme Compassion and Love. | | | Amitabha Ratnasambhava Vairochana Amoghasiddhi Akshobhya The Hearts start with Amitabha Buddha, Kuan Yin's fundamental Guru or Teacher, then move through the other four Buddhas and their rays, in the order Ratnasambhava, Vairochana, Amoghasiddhi, and Akshobhya. |
