Hand carved Buddhist Avalokitesvara marble buddha statue

Guanyin is both a Bodhisattva and the most revered folk god. She is an oriental goddess who "saves people from suffering and great mercy" to save people from disaster. Guanyin was originally the left retinue of Amitabha. As early as the seventh century BC, when Buddhism had not yet come into being, there was "Guanyin" in India (today's India). However, at that time, Guanyin was not a Buddha or a human being, but a pair of lovely twin ponies, a kind and powerful "good god". In the fifth century BC, after Sakyamuni founded Buddhism, Guanyin became a charitable bodhisattva in Buddhism.

Among Chinese Buddhist Bodhisattva beliefs, Guanyin's belief is the most widespread and far-reaching one. In the belief of Guanyin, if it is the most pluralistic and closely related to people's lives, it is the belief of Guanyin Yinghua. Guanyin Yinghua belief is the abbreviation of "Guanyin Bodhisattva's induction and realization belief". It can be included in the scope of "Guanyin belief", but it is also a relatively unique form of belief in "Guanyin belief". It is a belief type with strong religious mystery and sanctity in the Guanyin belief system. Guanyin Yinghua's belief is very popular throughout history.
