Kuan Yin, originally known as Avalokiteswara ('the Lord who regards'),
s a highly revered manifestation of the Buddha who appears in
Chinese scriptures around 400 A.D. Kuan Yin means 'one who hears the
cries of the world' and personifies the compassion of the Buddha for
the needy. She is usually represented as a young female deity but she
has the power to assume whatever form necessary in order to carry out
her vow which is to appear in any way necessary to lead beings out of
suffering. Here, Kuan-Yin is depicted holding a baby which represents
her role of Mother Goddess, mother of all humans and protector of
children.
