Collection: Mortal Smile -A More Motherly Guanyin |

Design Description: Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion and mercy. She is venerated in Mahayana Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism (where she is known as Avalokitesvara), and sometimes Theravada Buddhism. She is usually shown as female but sometimes shown as male. Her full name is Guanshiyin which means "Observing the Sounds (or cries) of the World." 一葉觀音佛經稱「蓮瓣為葉」,千葉蓮即千瓣蓮,一葉蓮即一瓣蓮,故又名「一瓣蓮觀音」。一葉觀音現宰官身,無論手執蓮葉或乘一瓣蓮花,所呈現的,皆是禪宗解悟:「幻人呈幻事,依幻非真相,真滅幻亦滅,了無相可得。」 |
