Kuan-Yin or Guan Yin
Known as one of the "four great Bodhisattva"
(Shambala Dictionary of Buddhismand Zen, 119) Monday October 08, 2007

Thousand-Hand Guanyin



Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion as venerated by East Asian Buddhists, usually as a female. She is also known as the Chinese Bodhisattva of Compassion. She could have chosen to vaporize into enlightenment, but decided to stay on earth to help those who suffer.





In Japanese, Guanyin is pronounced Kannon (観音) or more formally Kanzeon (観世音); the spelling Kwannon, based on a pre-modern pronunciation, is sometimes seen. "Cannon" cameras are named after her. In Korean, this incarnation of Buddha is called Gwan-eum or Gwanse-eum, In Thai, the name is called Kuan Eim (กวนอิม) or Prah Mae Kuan Eim (พระแม่กวนอิม),and in Vietnamese, the name is Quan Âm or Quan
Thế Âm Bồ Tát. It is generally accepted that Guanyin originated as the Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara (अवलोकितेश्वर), which is her male form.

Depiction



Guanyin is the Chinese name for the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara.
However, folk traditions in China and other East Asian countries have
added many distinctive characteristics and legends. Avalokiteśvara was
originally depicted as Buddha when he was still a prince, and therefore
wears chest-revealing clothing and may even sport a moustache. However,
in China, Guanyin is usually depicted as a woman. Additionally, some
people believe that Guanyin is neither man nor woman.


In China, Guanyin is usually shown in a white flowing robe, and
usually wearing necklaces of Indian/Chinese royalty. In the right hand
is a water jar containing pure water, and in the left, a willow branch. The crown usually depicts the image of Amitabha Buddha, Guan Yin's spiritual teacher before she became a Bodhisattva.



In some Buddhist temples and monasteries, Guanyin images are
occasionally depicted as a young man dressed in Northern Song Buddhist
robes sitting gracefully. He is usually depicted looking or glancing
down, symbolising that Guanyin continues to watch over the world.

There are also regional variations of Guan Yin depictions. In the Fukien
region of China, for example, a popular depiction of Guan Yin is as a
maiden dressed in Tang dynasty style clothing carrying a fish basket. A
popular image of Guan Yin as both Guan Yin of the South Sea and Guan
Yin With a Fish Basket can be seen in late 1500s Chinese encyclopedias
and in prints that accompany the novel Golden Lotus.


In Chinese art, Guan Yin is often depicted either alone, standing
atop a dragon, accompanied by a bird, flanked by two children, or
flanked by two warriors. The two children are her acolytes who came to
her when she was meditating at Mount Putuo. The girl is called Long Nü and the boy Shan Tsai. The two warriors are the historical character Guan Yu who comes from the Three Kingdoms period and the mythological character Wei Tuo
who features in the Chinese classic Canonisation of the Gods. The
Buddhist tradition also displays Guan Yin, or other buddhas and
bodhisattvas, flanked with the two said warriors, but as bodhisattvas
who protect the temple and the faith itself.




[edit] Veneration

In Chinese Buddhist iconography, Guan Yin is often depicted as
meditating or sitting alongside one of the Buddhas and usually
accompanied by another bodhisattva. Which buddha or bodhisattva usually
depends upon which school it represents. In the Pure Land school, for
example, Guan Yin is frequently depicted as standing alongside Amitabha
Buddha and bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta. Temples that revere the bodhisattva Ksitigarbha usually depict him meditating alongside the Buddha and Guan Yin.



Along with Buddhism, Guanyin's veneration was introduced into China as early as the 1st century CE, and reached Japan by way of Korea soon after Buddhism was first introduced into the country in the mid-7th century.


More recently in Europe and America, a new wave of believers are
spreading a devotional cult beyond buddhism, taoism and folk
traditional beliefs. Guan Yin is not only a bodhisattva or a goddess
but a focus of devotion by some Eastern New Age movements.




[edit] Guanyin's representation



Representations of the bodhisattva in China prior to the Song Dynasty (960-1279)
were masculine in appearance. Images which later displayed attributes
of both genders are believed to be in accordance with the Lotus Sutra,
where Avalokitesvara has the supernatural power of assuming any form
required

Namo Quan Shi Yin Pu'sa, Namo Quan Shi Yin Bodhisattva,
Homage to Quan Yin
As my tribute to Kwan Yin Goddess of Mercy
I have started a project called
One Thousand Quan Yin Project
for us to put together 1,000 or so pictures,
artworks, and images of Quan Yin as a
peace process, meditation exercise,
love revolution, artistic endeavor
or a healing transformation
to awaken and enliven
the self, the family,
the community, and the world.
I encourage all to simply post their pictures
if they have anything to share with everybody.
You do not need to believe in Quan Yin.
All I want is to be able to
see images of Quan Yin in all her
representations and manifestations
in your area that I or others
may not be able to see. I need
for everybody to remember this project.
I hope for the best and I love to share
and make friends and to understand.
Please share your light to the world.
Thank you,
Samme
