Quan 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.
