Description

The most celebrated goddess in all of Asia, Kwan Yin has crossed the ocean to enter the lives of American women. She is a bodhisattva (one who delays her own full enlightenment to work for the liberation of all beings), compassionately engaged in the world. In this illustrated volume Sandy Boucher offers an invitation to women to share in Kwan Yin's illuminating light. With meditations, chants, and prayers created by Buddhist devotees of Asian and Western heritage. Discovering Kwan Yin, Buddhist Goddess of Compassion is sure to become an important spiritual touchstone for all those who seek to celebrate the goddess in their lives, to give and receive the loving power of her presence.
