Kuan Yin
A western interpretation of the Bodhisattva Kuan Yin / Kwan Yin (Chinese) or Kanzeon (Japanese).
The pearl represents Bodhicitta (compassionate awareness in action) . The open handed mudra symbolises fearlesness (through recognition of emptiness of self and other).
The chalice is symbolic of wisdom and receptivity.
The Mantra "OM MANI PADME HUM" refers to the jewel in the lotus - the potentiality for unlimited growth in all beings. This is in Tibetan script. The final character HRIH is the seed syllable of this Bodhisattva.
