Quan Yin

Quan Yin, also known as Kuan Yin or Guanyin, is a celestial being revered in East Asian cultures, particularly in Buddhism and Taoism. She embodies compassion and mercy, often depicted as a feminine figure helping those in suffering. Quan Yin is seen as a Bodhisattva, someone who has attained enlightenment but chooses to help others achieve it. Her name means "Observing the Sounds of the World," signifying her ability to hear the cries of those in distress. She is a symbol of unconditional love and kindness, offering solace and guidance to those in need.
