Yin is the universally beloved deity of the Buddhist tradition,
she also known as Kuan Yin, Quan'Am (Vietnam), Kannon
(Japan), and Kanin (Bali), She is the embodiment of compassionate
loving kindness. Her name means "She who hears the
weeping world".
She is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and hears our call
wherever we need help. According to the folk belief of
eastern China, Quan-yin dwells on the island Pu-tuo-shan,
which is the boddhisattva's sacred place.
Kwan Yin vowed to remain in the earthly realms and not
enter the heavenly worlds until all other living things
complete their own enlightenment and are liberated from
birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). Kwan Yin is the enlightened
being/Goddess who embodies an all pervasive, all consuming,
unwavering loving compassion - She accessible to everyone.
According to the book The Ascended Masters Book of Ritual
and Prayerby Edwin
Courtenay's, Kwan Yin holds the pearl-white flame
of compassion which was once manifest upon the Earth in
Her temples. This flame can be invoked in your meditation
work to assist in cultivating your own personal compassionate
understanding. Just call on the flame and visualise the
flame invoking compassion within you.
Quan Yin can also be called upon if performing any healing
work on yourself or others and whenever you are in need
of pure loving kindness a call to Kwan Yin will always
be answered.
