Guanyin is a highly revered bodhisattva in East Asian Buddhism, embodying the qualities of compassion, mercy, and readiness to assist all beings. She is considered the embodiment of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana Buddhism. Guanyin is believed to hear the cries and suffering of sentient beings and to respond swiftly with protection and guidance. She is especially associated with compassion for those in distress, such as the poor, the sick, and those in danger. Her role is to delay her own Buddhahood until all beings are liberated from suffering, symbolizing the infinite patience and compassion of the bodhisattva.
