Description

An vintage brass Bodhisattva Guan Yin bust. Very solemn serene appearance on her face. Her hair well braided on her head and both sides of her body. With her eyes half close, she is listening to all the sounds in the world. She’s wise and understanding. Elegant one of a kind art piece.

Guanyin ( 觀音; 观音) is a Bodhisattva associated with compassion. She is the East Asian representation of Avalokiteśvara. Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means “The One Who Perceives the Sounds of the World.”

Some Buddhists believe that when one of their adherents departs from this world, they are placed by Guanyin in the heart of a lotus, and then sent to the western pure land of Sukhāvatī. Guanyin is often referred to as the “most widely beloved Buddhist Divinity” with miraculous powers to assist all those who pray to her, as is mentioned in the Pumen chapter of Lotus Sutra and Kāraṇḍavyūha Sūtra.

Dimensions: 3.25″ x 7″ x 8.5″
