Quan Yin... the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy
Quan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. Also known as Kuan Yin, Quan'Am (Vietnam), Kannon (Japan), and Kanin (Bali), She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings. Quan Yin enjoys a strong resonance with the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara.
In many images she is shown carrying the pearls of illumination. Often Quan Yin is shown pouring a stream of healing water, the "Water of Life," from a small vase. With this water devotees and all living things are blessed with physical and spiritual peace. She holds a sheaf of ripe rice or a bowl of rice seed as a metaphor for fertility and sustenance. The dragon, an ancient symbol for high spirituality, wisdom, strength, and divine powers of transformation, is a common motif found in combination with the Goddess of Mercy.
Sometimes Quan Yin is represented as a many armed figure, with each hand either containing a different cosmic symbol or expressing a specific ritual position, or mudra. This characterizes the Goddess as the source and sustenance of all things. Her cupped hands often form the Yoni Mudra, symbolizing the womb as the door for entry to this world through the universal female principle.

Name of the backdrop panel painting:
Nome da pintura no painel de fundo:
"Paradise of Tejraprabha Buddha"
About the painting (Descrição da obra traduzida do inglês ao português logo abaixo):
Measuring over 23-feet high and 48-feet wide, the Museum’s monumental Chinese wall painting, Paradise of Tejraprabha Buddha, is one of the few surviving examples from the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), a period of great accomplishment for Chinese mural painting.
The wall was made in one piece for the temple, but it was cut into 47 sections to ship the painting out of China. The Nelson-Atkins acquired the mural in 1932. The 47 pieces were strengthened with plaster and steel before it was attached to the Museum’s wall in 1933.
Originally, this painting was the center of spiritual rituals in a Buddhist monastery in Shanxi province called the Monastery of Expansive Victory.
In the mural, Buddha is surrounded by a group of attendants. In the center of the wall is Tejraprabha, whose name literally means “blazing light.” This Buddha’s spiritual enlightenment becomes more impressive when we realize that the figures surrounding him represent celestial bodies, including the sun, moon and five planets of traditional Chinese astronomy.
Bright colors dominate the center of the mural, with dark colors used extensively around the outer edges. The artists purposefully painted in this manner to create the illusion that the entire assembly is illuminated by light radiating from the central Buddha.
Descrição da pintura em painel intitulada "Paraído do Buda Tejraprabha" (Tejraprabha = ipsis verbis "luz resplandecente", sendo que existem diferentes manifestações do Buda no budismo) da Dinastia Yuan, de 1279-1368, ou seja um pouco mais recente do que a estátua instalada em sua frente:
Medindo mais de 23-pés de altura e 48-pés de largura (mais sobre a unidade de medida "pé" aqui ), a monumental pintura do museu "Paradise of Tejraprabha Buddha" é um dos poucos exemplos existentes da Dinastia Yuan / Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), um período de grandes feitos na produção de pinturas em murais na China.
A parede foi produzida como uma só peça para o templo, mas foi cortada em 47 seções para o seu transporte para fora da China. O museu Nelson-Atkins comprou o mural 1932. Os 47 pedaços foram reforçados com reboco de gesso e aço antes de ser afixado na parede do museu em 1933.
Originalmente esta pintura era o centro dos rituais espirituais em um mosteiro budista na província de Shanxi chamado "Monastery of Expansive Victory" / "Mosteiro de Vitória Expansiva".
Neste mural Buda se encontra rodeado por seus pagens. No centro da parede está Tejraprabha, cujo nome literalmente traduzido significa “luz resplandecente”. Esta iluminação espiritual de Buda se torna mais impressionante quando nos damos conta que as figuras que o rodeiam representam corpos celestiais: O sol, a lua, e os cinco planetas que tradicionalmente fazem parte da astronomia chinesa.
Cores brilhantes dominam o centro do mural, com cores escuras utilizadas extensivamente nas bordas exteriores. Os/as artistas compuseram a pintura desta maneira de propósito para criar a ilusão de que a montagem como um todo está sendo iluminada por luz que irradia do Buda ao centro.

Skylawn Memorial Park is an 84-acre nonsectarian cemetery opened in 1959. Skylawn is located at the intersection of Highway 92 and Skyline Boulevard on the Western slope of Cahill Ridge in San Mateo, California. The Park's grounds include beautifully landscaped gardens. Separate garden and memorial areas are maintained for Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Hispanic and Jewish families.
This recently opened area of the park is called the 'Lotus Garden'. The garden is located on a gently sloping hill. At the very top of the hill is the statue of Kuan Yin, the bodhisattva and goddess of mercy and compassion. Water at the base wraps the Kuan Yin Statue like a Lotus Flower and cascades down the hill feeding into six separate rivers that meander through the area. Venerated by Mahayana Buddhists, Kuan Yin or Quanyin means "The One Who Perceives the Sounds of the World".
