It is widely believed that Kuan Yin took embodiment as the third daughter of Miao Chuang Wang, identified with the Chou dynasty, a ruler of a northern Chinese kingdom about 700 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. According to legend, she was determined to devote herself to a religious life. She refused to be married despite the command of her father and the entreaties of her friends. Finally, however, she was permitted to enter the Nunnery of the White Bird in Lungshu Hsien. Here, at her father’s orders, she was put to the most demeaning tasks, which in no way dampened her zealous love for God.
Generalmente se cree que Kuan Yin encarnó como la tercera hija de Miao Chuang Wang, identificado con la dinastía Zhou, perteneciente a un gobernante del reino chino del norte alrededor del año 700 a.C. Según la leyenda, ella estaba decidida a dedicarse a una vida religiosa. Se negó a casarse a pesar de las órdenes de su padre y las súplicas de sus amigas. Al final, sin embargo, se le permitió la entrada en el Convento del Pájaro Blanco, en Lungshu Hsien. Allí, bajo órdenes de su padre, fue sometida a las tareas más exigentes, que de ninguna forma enfriaron su intenso amor por Dios.


Angered by her devotion, her father ordered her to be executed, but when the sword touched her, it broke into a thousand pieces. Her father then commanded her to be stifled, but when her soul left her body and descended into hell, she transformed it into paradise. Carried on a lotus flower to the island of P’ootoo, near Nimpo, she lived for nine years healing the diseased and saving mariners from shipwreck.
