Historical background

Among the many Buddhists worshiped in China, Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the four great Buddhists and the embodiment of compassion. She is a free translation of Sanskrit "A Tie Lu Zhi" and "Low Humidity Cutting Logic", which means that when pain occurs, you can immediately get rid of the sound. She has already become a Buddha herself, just for the happiness and maturity of all beings, sailing against the current with kindness, responding to the fate of the world, saving all suffering beings with 32 bodies, and doing everything she wants.

He has 14 kinds of boundless divine power fearlessly given to all beings, four kinds of inaction divine virtue, various magical powers and various ingenious and convenient methods. He has been widely respected and supported by the people in China, and once had the image that "every family is a Buddha and every family is a goddess of mercy".

Guanyin represents sympathy and help. When all sentient beings are in trouble, they immediately lend a helping hand, so we praise avalokitesvara as "a thousand hands and a thousand eyes". A thousand hands and eyes is a metaphor, not a real thousand hands and eyes. This is a compliment to a wise man that "both hands can do everything".

The so-called eye for an eye, hand to hand, as long as he saw it, a helping hand arrived immediately. Buddhism believes that it is a great victory and great merit to hold activities such as chanting, chanting Buddha, holding spells and releasing people on the anniversary of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
