'''Kuan Yin''' is revered in Buddhism as the compassionate Saviouress, the Bodhisattva of Mercy. Beloved as a mother figure and divine mediatrix who is close to the daily affairs of her devotees, Kuan Yin’s role as Buddhist Madonna has been compared to that of [[Mother Mary|Mary the mother of Jesus]] in the West. Throughout the Far East, devotees seek her guidance and succor in every area of life. Altars dedicated to Kuan Yin can be found in temples, homes and wayside grottoes.
'''Kuan Yin''' é reverenciada no Budismo como a Salvadora compassiva,
a Bodhisattva da Misericórdia. Amada como figura materna e medianeira
divina, sempre próxima das atividades diárias dos devotos, o papel de Kuan Yin como Madona Budista é comparado ao que [[Maria, mãe de Jesus]], desempenha no Ocidente. Em todo o Extremo Oriente, devotos pedem-lhe orientação e ajuda em todas as áreas da vida. Nos templos, residências e grutas à beira da estrada, é possível encontrar altares que lhe são dedicados.


The name ''Kuan Shih Yin'', as she is often called, means “the one who regards, looks on, or hears the sounds of the world.” According to legend, Kuan Yin was about to enter heaven but paused on the threshold as the cries of the world reached her ears.
