Watercolour 24CM X 30 CM.
"The lotus, a type of water lily, can be found in many places. It has over the years gained meaning and symbolism - commonly rebirth and enlightenment."
"Kwannon, goddess of compassion
Loved and adored goddess
You are as radiant as gold and as
gentle as the moonbeam
The moon is your companion
The wind is your friend
Kuan Shih Yin, goddess of mercy
One who hears the cries of the world
Remover of sorrow and grief
Patron of mothers and sailors
Protector of young women
Giver of children
Queen of the Isle of P’u T’o
One who floats on a water-lily
Bearer of the pearls of illumination
You were once known as
Avalokitesvara
God who listens to all prayers in times
of sorrow
Kuan Yin, Enlightened One
In story you are Miao Shan, daughter
of a King
Who gave up the kingdom for
Buddhahood
You asked to stay on earth until all
suffering had ended
Forsaking your place in the heavenly
worlds
Until we are all liberated and
enlightened
Come, bless
Share with us your healing waters, the Water of Life
Teach us compassion, mercy, and
loving kindness
Kannon, Kuan Shih Yin, Miao Shan
We welcome you into our hearts
Blessed be."
