고통과 슬픔으로 절규하는 중생의 음(音)
귀기울여 들으시고 자비로 감싸시네
마지막 한 사람까지 대자유 얻도록
Gift for my faithful Buddhist friend's mom MYS
In Buddhism, Avalokitesvara, depicted both as female & male, embodies Compassion. In Korea, it's female like a benevolent mother. Avalokitesvara, or Gwaneum in Korean, is an enlightened being but didn't leave this world to save and free people from suffering.
Gwaneum means perceiving all sound - she hears cries for help & prayers from people and helps those who call her name. Buddhists say her name very often.
