Materials: Thai Brass Height: 36 inches Base Circumference: 12 inches Weight: 80 pounds Click here to view more images of the Large Kwan Yin Statue Kwan Yin (also spelled Kuan Yin or Quan Yin), is known as the Goddess of Compassion, and she is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia. Her name in Chinese roughly translates to "The One who Hears the Cries of the World". Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokitesvara, who is the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. As a bodhisattva, she has chosen to put off her complete unexcelled, perfect enlightenment for the benefit of beings everywhere, and she will wait as long as there is one being who is not enlightened. This tall statue of Kwan Yin is holding a vase of nectar which she is pouring
out. The vase represents wisdom
quenching the thirst of ignorance. The nectar also represents the relieving of
suffering since nectar is the food of hungry ghosts. Her other hand is in
the abhaya mudra, the gesture of discussion and debate which indicates
communication and the explanation of the Dharma. The tip of the thumb and
index finger touch, this being the gesture of great compassion. Please email or call us, toll free, with any questions or comments 1(888)DHARMA-4, info@dharmasculpture.com |
