"Bodhisattva of
Compassion & Mercy"
Kuan Yin Statues
A Bodhisattva is a being who seeks enlightenment but
renounces the complete attainment of this goal until all being are
enlightened. Bodhisattvas provide help to those who ask and take upon
themselves the suffering of others. Kuan Yin Bodhisattva manifests herself
in any form necessary when a being calls out for help. She is especially
helpful in dealing with the danger of drowning, malevolent energies, fire
or for assistance to childless women who wish to become pregnant.
Kuan Yin Bodhisattva is usually depicted riding on a dragon or
standing on clouds. She holds a lotus flower (enlightenment), or a willow
branch (gentleness). She also carries a vase containing Heavenly dew.
