Kwan Yin (sometimes transliterated as Quan Jin) which means "observing the cries of the world" is the Chinese Bodhisattva of compassion. She is the personification of kindness and mercy, the Mother Goddess and patron of travelers. In contemporary terms, she is even considered by Buddhists as the protector of airline travel!
She is generally seen as a source of unconditional love. In her bodhisattva vows, Kwan Yin promises to answer the cries and pleas of all beings people and animals alike and to liberate them from their own karmic woes. Therefore, this Mother Of The World is a champion of animal lovers, vegetarians and vegans.
She has also been a symbol for equality, said to be the first female to achieve Enlightenment.
