KUAN YIN is the most important and best LOVED deity of the Chinese world.
She is the living expression of COMPASSION - whose gentle face and elegant figure -
form a centre of devotion in most Chinese homes and workplaces.
Her universal mystery and power of the divine femine transcends ALL doctrines, creeds and traditions.
Yet she - and her origins within Buddhism, Taoism
and the female shamans of China -
are barely known in the West.
The beautiful poetry of the 100 Prophecies of Kuan Yin - have become a constant inspiration since I penned my article in reference to the first 100 piece jigsaw ...
My favourite of these is -
WISDOM
Heaven below zero, the earth freezing, water congealing
SO what is the point of being famous and well-known ?
It's best to wait and see beyond all of this -
Until the REAL TIME comes, and your eyes can see clearly.
and most IMPORTANT of ALL ...
To the people of EARTH, I offer my power and assistance
in helping YOU implement ... THE LIGHT which will set YOU FREE and THE KNOWLEDGE which cannot be
underesteimated.
Kuan Yin
Hail ! - to KUAN YIN
Hail ! - to SAMME
Hail ! - to ALL @zaadz
Have a MOST glorious - HAPPY VALENTINE's -
in contemplation of the MOMENT

That is a beautiful statue! Kuan Yin is a wonderful figure, I try to bear her in mind constantly for myself and for others. :) Very appropriate for Valentine's Day. Thank you for sharing this!

Wonderful Michael!
It does seem that Kuan Yin is often overlooked in the west, even in the buddhist circles, as the buddhism practiced most by westerners is primarily Tibetan, secular, Zen or Theravadin. Thank your for this post.
Is that statue yours?
Yes Michael this is a beautiful picture and a wonderful statue of Kuan Yin. I am in awe and reverence. Namo Quan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. I humbly bow and thank you.
IT is fitting to thank you ALL for your kind remarks on this first day of the Chinese New Year and to advise you that I have cherished this solid brass statue and its intricate detail for many a year - as part of a collection which symbolises for me the passing of the torch - in the form of the seed - from Guatama Buddha to Mahakashyap and onwards from India to China, China to India, India to Japan, Japan to the USA - and from hopefully now from the USA to the WORLD.
LET the PEOPLE decide !
