A bodhisattva saves others from hardship and suffering;
a great bodhisattva takes on hardship and suffering itself.

Kuan Yin LOVES people! When she sees me or my boyfriend, she starts to mew and wants to come with us.
So tiny and so sweet!
Kuan-kuan is a very smart and lively young kid who is a huge fan of luxury cars, especially Rolls-Royce, and it's amazing all of the detailed knowledge he can tell you about the Wraith or the Phantom. He also enjoys building intricate lego creations, doodling, painting and talking to adults about world history and politics.
The exposure meter on my D800 was broken, so I had to go full manual with this shot. Luckily the RAW file allowed for a lot of corrective work.
After expensive repairs and updates on all firmware versions, the camera appears to be working better than ever, especially in terms of the speed and accuracy of focus with both macro and telephoto lenses.

I always think about Gaia and Maya's littermates... If I could, I would have kept all of them. But I'm sure they are in lovely homes now....
Built in 1728, the Kuan Yin Temple - or also known as Goddess of Mercy Temple - is a Chinese Taoist temple in George Town on the Malaysian island of Penang, located on Pitt Street. The red lanterns were a temporary decoration to celebrate Chinese New Year.
“Death is like giving birth. Birth can be painful. Sometimes women die from giving birth. However, when the baby is born, all that pain (that was endured) vanishes in an instant. Love for that tiny baby makes one forget the pain, the fear. And as I’ve said before, love between mother and child is the highest experience, the closest to divine love.
You might wonder about the parallel I’m making between birth and death. But I say to you, the fear and pain accompanying an awful death is over quickly. Beyond that portal one is suddenly in the light, in oneness and bliss…Just as a woman heals rapidly after childbirth and then is able to fall in love with her baby, those who pass over also are able to fall in love with a new life."
-Kuan Yin (From "Oracle of Compassion: the Living Word of Kuan Yin”
Kuan Yin (also "Guanyin" and "Quan Yin") is the female Bodhisattva of Compassion. her name means "She who hears the cries of the world."

8" x 6." Thanks to Leonora, I now know who she is: Kuan Yin,
the Goddess of Compassion. I should not have put the Hamsa (the hand) behind her, but it's too late to change without irreparable damage.
Kuan Shih Yin is one of the most universally beloved Buddhist deities. According to tradition, Kuan Shih Yin had been an ordinary person who had followed the path of wisdom and service until after many incarnations she reached the supreme goal - nirvana. Pausing a moment at the threshold, she heard a great wail of woe rising from the world. Without a second thought this noble-hearted soul turned back, determined to remain until every being without exception should precede her into heavenly paradise. Her name is translated as "the one who looks on the world and hears its lamentations."
As a true Bodhisattva (Enlightened One) of Mercy and Compassion, Kuan Shih Yin is unique among the heavenly hierarchy in that she is so utterly free from pride or vengefulness that she remains reluctant to punish even those to whom a severe lesson might be appropriate. Individuals who could be sentenced to dreadful penance in other systems can attain rebirth and renewal by simply calling upon her graces with utter and absolute sincerity. It is said that, even for one kneeling beneath the executioner's sword already raised to strike, a single heartfelt cry to Bodhisattva Kuan Shih Yin will cause the blade to fall shattered to the ground.
"Never will I seek nor receive private, individual salvation or enter into final peace alone," Kuan Shih Yin said. "Forever and everywhere will I live and strive for the redemption of every creature throughout the world from the bonds of conditioned existence."
