Kwan Yin is the ancient Goddess of Compassion, with her roots deep in Asia, but her qualities are much needed in our times. It is said that she "Hears the Cries of the World". We need to listen deeply to our own truths, to each other and to the earth, to feel what is happening and then to act with compassion. As with all these images, Kwan Yin is not an image to be worshiped, but to be kept w we can see her, so we can see mirrored in her our own qualities of calm, compassion, strength and beauty. SymbolismKuan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin or Quan Yin), is known as the Goddess of Compassion, and she is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia.

She lived during 300 BC and was the youngest daughter to king of a small country in southwestern China. Her mortal name was Miau Chan.As she grew up, she was wise to the ways of nature and exhibited great compassion. Not wishing to wed, she convinced her father to allow her to enter the Nunnery of the White Bird.
