This 24-inch tall Kwan Yin, seated on a double lotus, is not meant to be worshiped but instead seen as a reflection of our own qualities of calm, compassion, strength, and beauty. Made of cast resin with a rust patina finish, the statue is designed to be displayed inside the home or outside in the garden. Though she is an ancient archetype with roots deep in Asia, Kwan Yin's message is as potent and relevant as ever. This female form of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, whose name translates as "the one who hears the cries of the world," embodies the importance of listening deeply to our own truths, to each other, and to the earth, in order to act with compassion. Donated by Samma-Ajiva.
