Kuan Yin, originally known
as Avalokiteswara ("the Lord who regards"), is a highly revered manifestation
of the Buddha who appears in Chinese scriptures around 400 AD. Kuan Yin means
"one who hears the cries of the world" and personifies the compassion of the
Buddha for the needy.
Kuan
Yin is the embodiment of the yin principle. She is usually represented as a
young female deity but she has the power to assume whatever form necessary in
order to carry out her vow which is to appear in any way necessary to lead
beings out of suffering. She is often shown holding a vase containing the
waters of compassion,the lotus flower of enlightment or the jewel of three
treasures. Here she holds a rosary which is a symbol of her compassion for the
world.
