avalokiteshvara



From 5 different museums, photos of Kuan Yin, & a drawing
I did of a 12th c statue. Originally Avalokiteshvara, the name
became Kuan Yin as Buddhism moved east to China.




She/he is the embodiment of compassion.
Sorry, it was long ago, ('80's ?) I didn't note where they were.

Buddhanet will fill in any blanks.. & listen to the beautiful
Ani Choying, also singing Amazing Grace, or anything at all.
