Do you often say, “I can’t afford it.”

This word energy flows around the space and goes to the universe.


And universe will catch the words “ can’t “ and “ don’t “ and will keep you in the state of “ can’t afford it “ and “ don’t have money “


Better to say


“ I have enough. “


Because the universe will hear you saying "you have enough" and so will give you enough, and more.

Quan Yin ( Kwan Yin) / Kuan Yin - Goddess of Compassion

If you have been suffering from unfortunate events in your life, such as family trouble, illness, disabilities, financial trouble, etc.. Quan Yin ( Kwan yin/ Guanyin ) is well-known as the Goddess of Compassion who can clean all the negativities and energy around your place , change bad luck into good fortune. Quan Yin ( Kwan yin )  is one of the most universally beloved of East Asian Buddhist deities.

She is also generally regarded by many as the protector of women and children.


She is one of the deities most frequently seen on altars in China's temples.


Also spelled Kuan Yin or Guan Yin, she is the very embodiment of compassionate loving kindness.

As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, she hears the cries of all beings.


In many images, she carries the pearls of illumination or pours a stream of healing waters from a vase, blessing her devotees with physical and spiritual peace.


She is often shown with a dragon; the age old symbol of the highest spiritual essence, embodying wisdom, strength, and the divine powers of transformation.


She is also sometimes referred to as Guanyin Pusa, in simplified Chinese 观音菩萨, in traditional Chinese 觀音菩薩.


In Sanskrit, her name is Padma-pâni, or "Born of the Lotus."

In Chinese she is called Quan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion.


She is an extremely popular Goddess in China and is worshiped in Chinese communities throughout East and South East Asia.
　
There are also legendary stories about Quan Yin which say that she can even turn hell into heaven.


This Goddess comforts all, the troubled, the sick, the lost, the senile, the unfortunate, anyone needing her help. She stands tall and slender, a figure of infinite grace.


Quan Yin is also worshipped in Taoism , and she is noted for her disposition to save the lost, her purity, wisdom, and her marvel and miracle working power.


Many Buddhist scriptures state that one can invoke Quan Yin 's assistance by simply calling out her name.


According to the Huayen Sutra (Buddha-vatamsaka-mahavaipulya Sutra), Quan Yin uses all kinds of ways to attract people: she makes gifts, uses words of love, and transforms herself into persons like those that she deals with.


The "Universal Gateway" chapter in the Lotus Sutra lists thirty-two typical forms in which Quan Yin may appear.


For instance, if a boy or girl is about to gain some enlightenment, Quan Yin may transform herself into a boy or a girl to teach the child.

If a monk is about to attain some enlightenment, Quan Yin may transform herself into a monk. In short, she can appear as a monk, a nun, a king, a minister, a celestial being, or a normal person like you and me.

The purpose of such transformations is to make people feel close to her and willing to listen to her words.


According to legend, Quan Yin made the following statement.


"I am cultivating this method of great compassion and hope to save all living beings," Quan Yin said.

"Any living being who calls my name or sees me will be free from all fear and danger. I will activate that being's spiritual awareness and maintain it forever."


Sakyamuni Buddha confirmed Quan Yin 's vow:

"If a suffering being hears the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and earnestly calls out to the bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara will hear the call and redeem that being from his suffering" ("Universal Gateway," Lotus Sutra).

In other words, Quan Yin strives to eliminate suffering and to help people live in peace and harmony.


A deity like Quan Yin may appear in either male or female form. Statues of these beings merely help us feel their presence.



The Quan Yin (Kwan Yin ) statue

Quan Yin may be shown either in a standing or in a sitting position, and on top of her crown there is always an image of a Buddha, which is generally thought to be Amitabha Buddha.


In her hands, Quan Yin may hold a willow branch, 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.


Quan Yin 's right hand often points downward, with the palm facing outward, the posture of granting a wish. This is the typical image of Quan Yin in China and Taiwan.


Many other forms also exist. The expression "thirty-three forms of Quan Yin " in Sino-Japanese Buddhist art refers to thirty-three different appearances of this deity.


One of the most well-known forms of Quan Yin is the one with a thousand eyes and a thousand hands. The thousand eyes allow Quan Yin to see the suffering creatures in this world, and the thousand hands allow her to reach out to help them.


She doesn’t really need all those eyes and hands to be able to help, she can do fine with one pair of eyes and hands, or with just her spirit, but it’s a popular representation of her, showing her power and compassion.




The Different Names of Quan Yin in Asian countries
