Guanyin (觀音), “the one who perceives the sounds of the world,” is the bodhisattva of compassion. The Lotus Sutra teaches that whoever calls on her in distress is heard. Since about the twelfth century she has been shown in China as a serene woman in white robes, with a small image of Amitābha Buddha in her crown, a vase of pure water and a willow branch to sprinkle it, seated on a lotus.
