"Kwan Yin is the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy. In its proper form the name 'Kwan Yin' is Kuanshih Yin, which means 'She who harkens to the cries of the world.'"
"Kwan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. Also known as Quan Yin, 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."
"Kwan Yin carries the Goddess and Divine Mother aspect of Buddhism." In Tibetan Buddhism She is associated with the Goddess Tara, in Christianity She is associated with Mother Mary, in the Egyptian mysteries Isis. In Hinduism She is associated with Shakti, wife of Vishnu; Parvarti, wife of Shiva; Radha, wife of Krishna; and Sita, wife of Rama. In Judaism She is associated with Shekinah, the Feminine Face of God, She-Who-Dwells-Within.
"She is often portrayed with a child in her arms, near her feet, or on her knees, or with several children about her. In this role, she is also referred to as the 'white-robed honored one.'"
