Kwan Yin is a Bodhisattva, known as the goddess of compassion. She has a very wide appeal that crosses all religions, because she represents a very universal theme.

We have a stunning example in the Nelson-Atkins Museum here in KC...

...although the photo scarcely does it justice. I can't even tell you how many people I have talked to over the years who have said that sitting before this amazing work in its perfect setting has brought immense peace and serenity to them. It is absolutely true. There is a palpable sense of calm, renewal and love in this part of the gallery. I've felt it all my life, but only after becoming Pagan was I able to understand what was happening.

A very, very powerful deity is Kwan Yin.
