Kwan Yin

Kwan Yin is the Sacred Feminine Buddhist Goddess of love, compassion and mercy. She is also called the Mother of all Buddhas and the Chinese Divine Mother.

Kwan Yin’s qualities of unconditional love, compassion and mercy are sought after by spiritual seekers and people in need from different spiritual paths, religions and cultures around the world. These qualities are the same qualities of the Sacred Feminine.

By honoring the Sacred Feminine Goddess we help to balance the male female energy within us and in the universe. Kwan Yin blesses and empowers the female energy for all beings on Mother Earth.

Bodhisattva

Kwan Yinwas dedicated to being the expression of unconditional love, compassion and service to humanity. As a result Kwan Yin became a Bodhisattva, which means “enlightened being.”

Kwan Yin is therefore considered the patron saint of Reiki Healing. Reiki’s original purpose was to help all beings become enlightened, where the healing aspect was secondary. That’s what I love about Kwan Yin and Reiki Healing. We are all here to become enlightened.

As a Bodhisattva Kwan Yin no longer had the need to reincarnate as she has earned the right to transcend the earthly world of pain and suffering and enter nirvana.Instead though, shechose to return to earth to help deliver others out of suffering and into enlightenment with her.

Kwan Yin and Mother Mary

Kwan Yin and Mother Mary have the same beautiful qualities of love, compassion, mercy and comfort.Bothare Mother Goddesses dedicated to helping those in need.

Unconditional love, compassion and mercy are expressed by Kwan Yin and Mother Mary especially when they protect the weak, mothers, babies and children. To this day I attribute the healing of my heart to both Kwan Yin and Mother Mary.

Purity and Compassion

Kwan Yin is depicted as dressed in white which reflects her purity of spirit.She is holding a vase that contains the compassion that she pours onto humanity. The willow branch that she holds in her right hand means that she is able to bend but not break.

Kwan Yin is shown seated on a lotus blossom which is the Buddhist symbol of purity and beauty befitting the Sacred Feminine Goddess and Mother of all Buddhas. Tirelessly she works to save all humans, uplifting their spirits so as to transcend their tribulations.

Many years ago when I lived in Maui I was introduced to Kwan Yin by my Chinese neighbor. She showed me the statue of the Mother Goddess and explained to me how Kwan Yin answered her prayers for her children and her husband.

At the foot of the altar my neighbor would place fresh fruit as a daily offering to the Chinese Divine Mother. As I tuned into the energy ofKwan Yin I felt relaxed, protected and comforted.

“She Who Hears the Cries of the People”

Since childhood I have always been connected to Mother Mary. A few years ago when I went to purchase a statue for our backyard altar in Seattle, I thought that I would be drawn to a statue of the Blessed Mother. To my surpriseI was guided to purchase a statue ofKwan Yin.

Ever since that time I have connected more powerfully toKwan Yin and her energy which is described as “she who hears the cries of the people.” I, like so many others receive solace from Kwan Yin especially when going through many intense challenges on the spiritual path.

Path of Devotion

In gazing at Kwan Yin, whose statue is now in the front yard of our upstate New York home, I understand that I am receiving the beautiful qualities of love, compassion and mercy through my own intention on my path of devotion.

On the path of devotion we have the opportunity to receive and develop those qualities that the deity expresses and inspires.

The next step on the path of devotion is to share those qualities with our fellow brothers and sisters on the earth, just as the Mother Goddess Kwan Yin does for all of us so selflessly.

Kwan Yin embodies all the powerful, beautiful qualities of the Sacred Feminine that is present within each of us whether we are female or male.

When we honor the Sacred Feminine presence in each Goddess such as Kwan Yinwe are honoring and balancing the male female energy within us and in the universe. We then elevate our own God and Goddess consciousness as well as all of humanity for we are one. And so it is.
