Rich, hand-painted detail, wraps this gracious Quan Yin in a lush environment complete with birds and ponds Gracious Quan Yin is the female form of the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokitesvara. Compassion'to feel with another', to be able to empathize and understand, even if we don't agree.
It is also said 'Quan Yin hears the cries of the world'. Her calm strength and gentle energy can inspire us to listen deeply, to hear our own truth and that of our world, and then to act with kindness in our hearts. Her energy of compassion belongs everywhere in our lives including for ourselves, for the animal beings, the inert riches that make up our planet, the air we breathe in and breath out. It all deserves our respect and attention. In this design, Quan Yin is standing with gold prayer beads in her hand, a gold Buddha in her headdress, and her robes painted with a landscape beginning at her feet birds and flowing water, with a temple in the forest on the back.
