Meaning and Legend of Kwan Yin Quan:

Kwan Yin Quan is known as the Goddess of Blessings & Healing. She is the most beloved and revered of the Chinese deities. Kwan Yin Quan is the Divine Mother we all long for: Merciful, Tender, Compassionate, Loving, Protecting, Caring, Healing, and Wise. Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokitesvara, who is the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Blessings. In Asia, statues of Kwan Yin Quan can be found in front of, or on the grounds of, many Buddhist temples. Pre-revolutionary China, this semi divine being was honored in virtually every home; she was the most powerful being in the entire Chinese pantheon. According to tradition Kwan Yin Quan had been an ordinary person who had followed the path of wisdom and service until after many incarnations she reached the supreme goal, nirvana. Full of resolve she exclaimed: "If in time to come I am to obtain power to benefit all beings, may I now be endowed with a thousand hands, a thousand eyes." Instantly her wish was granted, and since that moment Kwan Yin Quan has appeared in so many different forms, and in so many lands, it does seem that she has a thousand eyes and a thousand hands to Help those in need. As the Kuan Yin Sutra states, when one turns to Kwan Yin Quan, to the self within which images the divine self, a raging fire becomes a placid pool; chains that bind one's hands and feet are loosened; beasts flee, and snakes lose their poison. Also in times of great danger "miracles" do occur. For when self-nature is awakened, and blessings active, we are Kwan Yin Quan - the incarnation of mercy and love. The statues help remind us of this. They speak to our spiritual self.
