Description

Guanyin is an East Asian goddess of mercy, as well as a bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means "Perceiving the Sounds (or Cries) of the World". She is also sometimes referred to as Guanyin Bodhisattva Some Buddhists believe that when one of their adherents departs from this world, they are placed by Guanyin in the heart of a lotus, and then sent to the western pure land of Sukh?vat,,It is generally accepted among East Asian adherents that Guanyin originated as the Sanskrit Avalokite?vara. Commonly known in English as the Mercy Goddess or Goddess of Mercy Guanyin is also revered by Taoists as an immortal. In Chinese folk religion there are mythical accounts about Guanyin's origins that are not associated with the Avalokite?vara described in Buddhist sutras.
