Quan Yin

Quan Yin is the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. She is not an external deity, but represents the compassion in everyone. In one hand, she holds a lotus flower, in the other, a vase of water. She is often shown pouring the water from the vase ..showering all living beings and awakening the spirit of compassion.
