This Brass Tibetan Guanyin Kwan-yin Goddess Wall Hanging is of a Bodhisattva whose compassion is known. She is Avalokitevara's East Asian image, and other Eastern religions, like Chinese folk religion, have adopted her. The Jesuit missionaries in China are the ones who originally referred to her as the "Goddess of Mercy" or "Mercy Goddess." Guanshiyin, which meaning Perceives the Sounds of the World, is shortened to Guanyin. Guanyin attained Buddhahood on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, which is observed as a holiday.
