Description
 
Kuan Yin - Myths and Prophecies of the Chinese Goddess of Compassion

Quan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. Also known as Kuan Yin, Quan'Am (Vietnam), Kannon (Japan), and Kanin (Bali). She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings.

Quan Yin enjoys a strong resonance with the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara. In many images She is depicted carrying the pearls of illumination. Often Quan Yin is shown pouring a stream of healing water, the Water of Life, from a small vase. With this water devotees and all living things are blessed with physical and spiritual peace.
She holds a sheaf of ripe rice or a bowl of rice seed as a metaphor for fertility and sustenance.

The dragon, an ancient symbol for high spirituality, wisdom, strength, and divine powers of transformation, is a common motif found in combination with the Goddess of Mercy.

Beyond Reason / No reason:

...then a row makes your home no place to be,
Ah, we are like fading blossom drifting on an endless sea
Ask anyone if grace stays with those who are misaligned -
All that's left is a heap of problems in all you're doing.
