Kuan Yin Extends Her Open Arms and Compassionate Heart

"Kuan Yin currently serves in harmony with the Kumara family, with an open heart and holding the Divine light for our planet’s Ascension.  It is with great joy, as a nurturing mother, that she stands by her children, extending a helping hand of unconditional Love and compassion for us as we begin to awaken to our full potential.

"It is at this very time that she holds the candle so we may be able to find our way.  Yes, she also holds the door open for anyone who chooses to walk the path of a bodhisattva, an enlightened one.  She walks in step with us quietly, gently, and patiently stands by our side.  Holding steady that we may find the next step and then the next as she knows we alone can make those decisive choices.

"There is a quiet reverence and wisdom in her presence.  She encourages us to have great compassion for ourselves as we traverse upon our Ascension preparation.  It is her selfless love for us which makes her a perfect guide, helping us to see past our illusions of ego and 3D programming.

"She accomplished her Ascension journey thousands of years ago and carries such great love for humanity that he/she stayed behind to assist humanity to find their way home during this window of opportunity in the Golden Age.  Kuan Yin, like many other Ascended Masters are here now, to help us in these last few challenges of this12th hour.

"At this auspicious period, Kuan Yin encourages us to extend mercy and forgiveness to all who are revealed, to have created struggle and strife, pain and suffering. It is with this most illumined wisdom that she encourages us to release the judgment of those who played dark roles perpetrated against humanity.  It is the time to allow our compassionate hearts to lift up and not look back, but hold our focus on the prize.  The prize of unveiling our Divinity so we may see and experience the Living Lotus within our own hearts.

"We are encouraged to be like the beautiful Lotus Flower risen from the muddy depths in which it grows, and to recognize the radiant beauty, purity and perfection of our true nature. 

"She is fully present in our Ascension Center holding the sacred space for each and every one of you.  It is where Heaven meets the New Earth and holds its resonance for all to hear and enjoy in unending bliss.”

Thank You, Kuan Yin, as streamed through Elise Corwin 12-30-10

The History/Herstory of Kuan Yin has many names and many legends that have been passed down over many centuries.

 She is the bodhisattva of Compassion, revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name is short for Kuan Shi Yin.  Kuan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer.  Thus, Kuan Yin is a compassionate being who watches for, and responds to, the people in the world who cry out for help.

Bodhi means wisdom or enlightenment;  sattva means being or essence.  Put the two together and you get bodhisattva, a being who is enlightened and ready to transcend the cycles of birth and death, but chooses to return to the material world in order to help other people reach the same level of enlightenment. This is the ultimate demonstration of pure compassion.  Kuan Yin is an enlightened being; she is actually a Bodhisattva; a word that refers to later incarnations of the Buddha.

She is one of the deities most frequently seen on altars in China's temples is Quan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin, Kuanyin; in pinyin, Guanyin).  In Sanskrit, her name is Padma-pâni, or "Born of the Lotus."  Quan Yin, alone among Buddhist gods, is loved rather than feared and is the model of Chinese beauty.  The name Kuan Yin, means "One Who Sees and Hears the Cry from the Human World." 

She is believed to have entered this world in the form of a male called Avolokiteshvara.  In India, he was known as a merciful lord and identified with utter enlightenment.  Avolokiteshvara belonged to the early 12th century and it is thought that he evolved many times and is today the female version of the Goddess of Mercy.  In the West, Kuan Yin has been compared to the Virgin Mary.   

There are many representations of Kuan Yin.  She may hold a willow branch in her hand, a vase with water, or occasionally a lotus flower.  The willow branch is used to either heal people's illnesses or bring fulfillment to their requests. The water symbolizes the cleansing of people's sins or illnesses.  Kuan Yin's right hand often points downward, with the palm facing outward, the posture of granting a wish.   

The thousand hands-bodhisattva represent Kuan Yin's many abilities to render assistance. There are a thousand eyes on these hands which give Kuan Yin great powers to observe the world. Kuan Yin also has many faces so she can become who people need her to be, not necessarily herself, because her help is given in a way that is literally selfless.

Kuan Yin is known to be a protector of children.  She is often portrayed with a child in her arms, near her feet, or on her knees, or with several children around her.  Buddha and Kuan Yin are always described as sitting, standing on the lotus throne, or holding the stem of a lotus flower.
