'''Kuan Yin''' is revered in Buddhism as the compassionate Saviouress, the Bodhisattva of Mercy. Beloved as a mother figure and divine mediatrix who is close to the daily affairs of her devotees, Kuan Yin’s role as Buddhist Madonna has been compared to that of [[Mother Mary|Mary the mother of Jesus]] in the West. Throughout the Far East, devotees seek her guidance and succor in every area of life. Altars dedicated to Kuan Yin can be found in temples, homes and wayside grottoes.
En el budismo Kuan Yin es reverenciada como la Salvadora compasiva, la Bodhisattva de la Misericordia. Amada como una figura materna y mediatriz divina cercana a los asuntos cotidianos de sus devotos, el papel de Kuan Yin como Virgen budista ha sido comparado con el de María, madre de Jesús, en Occidente. Por todo el Lejano Oriente, los devotos buscan su guía y socorro en todas las facetas de la vida. Los altares dedicados a Kuan Yin se pueden encontrar en templos, hogares y grutas al lado del camino.


The name ''Kuan Shih Yin'', as she is often called, means “the one who regards, looks on, or hears the sounds of the world.” According to legend, Kuan Yin was about to enter heaven but paused on the threshold as the cries of the world reached her ears.
