Homage to Guanyin Holding the Lotus |
Listen to this Guan Yin Homage in Chinese: |
"If there are those that can be liberated by a boy or girl child, the Bodhisattva will appear in this form to teach them the dharma." Who appears as a 童男童女身 ( tóngnán tóngnǚ shēn ) minors of both sexes. This form, who wears a crown, is the same as Bodhisattva padmapani of the garbhakosa. She stands on a floating lotus leaf, with both hands holding a long stalk of two lotuses, one bloomed and the other half-bloomed. It symbolizes the fully enlightened mind together with the mind journeying towards enlightenment. As we may know, this lotus is a symbol of the Bodhisattva's fundamental vow. |
