Quan Yin is the Buddhist goddess of mercy, compassion, and protection. Her name means “she who hears prayers.” She is one of the most universally beloved deities in the Buddhist tradition.

There are countless legends that recount the miracles in which Quan Yin performs when one calls upon her. She is a virgin Goddess who protects women, offers them a religious life as an alternative to marriage, and grants children to those who desire them.

Quan Yin helps you to move beyond all the struggles in life. She teaches you how to let go of the need to control or try to force things to happen. She encourages you to release the situation to Spirit. When you can let go of struggle and anger, you can move towards trusting that Spirit is assisting you.
