Kuan Yin, originally known as Avalokiteswara ("the Lord who regards"), is a highly revered manifestation of the Buddha who appears in Chinese scriptures around 400 AD. Kuan Yin means "one who hears the cries of the world" and personifies the compassion of the Budha for the needy. She is usually represented as a young female diety but she has the power to assume whatever form necesary in order to carry out her vow which is to appear in any way necessary to lead beings out of suffering. Here she holds a rosary which is a symbol of her compassion for the world.
