Guanyin was one of the most important and beloved deities in Buddhism. The infinitely compassionate Avalokite& #347;vara (Chinese: Guanyin), name translates to “The Lord who looks down (compassionately at the suffering beings).” In Thailand she is revered by Buddhists as the Bodhisattva of Compassion, known as Phra Mae Kuan Im. Across the country are temples with statues of Guanyin as well as shrines dedicated to the deity. [ China Chunlin Zhu Collection
