Kwan Yin (Guan Yin), a popular character in mammoth ivory carving art

For centuries Eastern cultures have worshipped Kwan Yin as the Compassionate Saviouress of the East. Likened to the great stature of the Virgin Mary in the West, she is the Goddess of Compassion, a motherly figure thought to bestow children on the truly faithful, and to be there for anyone in need of love and sympathy.

All those who needlessly suffer are Kwan Yin’s children. She is all-loving, and the perfect embodiment of beauty, grace and enduring compassion.

All over the world, women have always prayed to the Great Mother for the healing of a sick child or to find solace from life’s troubles. Always She hears, and Her Presence consoles the grieving, cools the burning brow, relieves the pain. Kwan Yin means “She who hears the cries of sentient beings.”

Kwan Yin’s appeal is that she responds to the heartfelt needs of ordinary people. She is accessible to anyone, regardless of social status, and will come to the emotional rescue of anyone who calls upon her in a time of crisis. There are many ways to invoke Kwan Yin into one’s life. The traditional way is by chanting the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM.

It is further believed that to have a picture or statue of Kwan Yin in one’s home brings good luck and protection to the household.

In Her sanctuary, Kwan Yin awaits you. In Her hands she holds the vessel of nectar which She pours on the world’s suffering. The wheel of Her mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, revolves infinitely, emanating light in all directions. Take the time to bow before Her and allow your heart to express its sincere wish. Allow Her subtle presence to reach out to you.
