A Bodhisattva is an “enlightenment being” and also, according to legend, a later incarnation of the Buddha. “The Bodhisattva” is said to be Kuan Yin, and she is the female form of Avalokitesvara, who is the male form, praised and worshipped throughout many parts of Asia. He is the Great Protector, and his name avalokita-ishvara, means “lord who has seen and now sees.”

The Chinese form is Kuan-tzu-tsai, the “one who sees the world.” Another meaning is “she or he who hears.” Also, in Chinese, Kuan-yin means “she or he who hears the cries of the world.” These Chinese names are descriptive of a spiritual figure who hears and responds to the suffering of people by aiding them in their time of need.

The Bodhisattva Kuan Yin is a human figure who has had such intense dedication to helping others in a humanitarian and spiritual way, that she became the Greatest of the Protectors. The central figure in Tibetan Buddhism; The Dalai Lama, is said to be a living incarnation of Avalokitesvara, an expression of infinite compassion towards others. The Dalai Lama is said to have enormous insight into human suffering.

The Saddarmapundarika Sutra or Lotus Scripture, and the Sukhavativyuha Sutra or Pure Land Scripture both tell of The Bodhisattva’s powers to save lives and to deliver people from any type of calamity, if you simply call upon her assistance! The whole 25th chapter of the Lotus Scripture is devoted to her; and it states that her name is Avalokitesvara (same as above), as well as Kannon, and of course; Kuan Yin. The text describes that she can save a person from any type of trouble or calamity. She can also appear in any one of at least 33 different forms.

There have been numerous volumes of books written about Kuan Yin and all of the history, mythology, stories, and rituals concerning her and if you choose to believe, there are some seriously powerful benefits that can be derived from the Goddess of Compassion. My name is Father Time, and I use the Kuan Yin Oracle, also known as chien tung or the 100 sticks of fate, whenever I do a reading for people via e-mail. Many people have all loved their reading, and you will too. Why not give it a try? You have nothing to lose! Please visit:

Get prepared for help, whether you need to know about love matters, financial matters, or even if you have some other sort of question to me and to the Goddess of Compassion.

Until then…Be Well and Many Blessings!
