Ancestors Speak - Kuan Yin

As we move towards Christmas, I would like to talk about Kuan Yin, Goddess, and Ascended Master and Bodhisattva.

Kuan Yin is known as the Mother of Compassion.  She provides comfort to all and a peacefulness that allows one to comfortably practice meditation. 

Our Ancestors tell the tales of Kuan Yin being offered eternal life and bliss in the higher realms.  However, she found that with all the suffering still on the Earth, that she must turn back to Earth to help humans reach enlightenment.  She is, therefore, often called "One Who Sees And Hears The Cry From The Human World". 

Many women worship Kuan Yin because she is compassionate and because she believes in truth and justice, and she abhors inequality.  Kuan Yin protects the senile and unfortunate, comforts the troubled and the sick, and she works with women to help them in conception and childbirth, and in raising their families.  Sea going men, farmers, and travellers also ask for her protection - again because she is just.

When you are in need of peace, call on Kuan Yin to be there with you.  When you are feeling frightened, call on her.  When you need a blessing in your life, she will walk with you and offer the blessing.
