The likeness of the beautiful Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, graces this golden metallic card. Also known as Avalokitesvara, this most respected goddess had reached a spiritual level where she could become an enlightened Buddha, elevated beyond life and death, but instead she chose to stay on Earth to help mankind improve their karma. She vowed to help them find their own personal bliss and happiness. She also is said to be able to comfort the sick, touching their souls and bringing peace and relief from mental or physical maladies.
The name Guan Yin is the abbreviated form of Guan Shi Yin Pusa, which means “One Who Hears the Cries of the World” and she remains on Earth to watch, monitor and observe, responding to those who cry out her name to help them overcome depression, grief, illness, or any other major obstacles keeping one from peace. If you are in distress, chant “Om Mani Padme Hum” before her image and she will respond by protecting you and your family from harm. Carrying this lovely amulet card is a way of keeping the protection of Kuan Yin close by at all times.
