The likeness of the beautiful Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin, graces this pendant carved from jade stone. 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 Kuan Yin is the abbreviated form of Kuan 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. Wearing this lovely pendant is a way of keeping the protection of Kuan Yin close by at all times.
Jade has a mystical power to keep its wearer or owner from harm, while bestowing its other properties of purity, serenity and human goodness. It is said to attract harmony in relationships and bring self-confidence to the surface. Its powers also extend to the ability to soothe the mind and remove negative thoughts.
