She touched their hearts and souls, creating a sense of peace and relief amongst those who were less fortunate. This beautiful figurine of the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion (“Kuan Yin”) is shown sitting cross-legged upon a lotus flower, with an expression of peace and serenity. Place this statue on an eminent height in either your living or main family room. Kuan Yin is a very prominent and admired Goddess, widely pursued by the Chinese and followers of Mahayana Buddhism. Being the definitive icon of mercy and passion, Kuan Yin is a respectable maiden, as her tale tells. She actually reached the point where she could become a Buddha (enlightenment) and yet she decided to stay on Earth, remaining a “Pu Sa”. She wanted to help humankind achieve better karma, leading them to the Western Heavens, where they can find serenity and joy.
