2005 shot of Kuan Yin statue by Seven Jewels Lake at Chuan Yen Monastery in Kent NY. 11/06…after a recent visit, I was saddend to learn that this statue is no more, there were unfixable crackes so the monks filled it with incense and flash powder and burned it down. The monastery is now currently raising funds to build a new one.

A series of images from inside Kuan Yin Temple Bendigo Bendigo Chinese Gardens – Kuan Yin Temple / Kuan Yin (The Goddess of Mercy) is the most popular goddess associated with Buddhism in China and many Asian countries today. She is worshipped as the protector of families and the household, especially women and children. The temple was consecrated on the 30th of November 1996, according to Buddhist rituals and the customs and traditions of the Bendigo Chinese. Traditionally most Kuan Yin Statues are made of wood and clay. Bendigo’s ‘Kuan Yin’ is hand- carved from white marble, which is very special.

Medium: Oil on Canvas / Painting Title: Quan Yin, Jewel In the Lotus / Description: Quan Yin (Kwan Yin, Kuan Yin, Chenrezig in Tibetan; Kanzeon in Japanese; Avalokiteshwara in Sanscrit) represents the Manifestation of Compassion in the Universe, the spiritual quality one nurtures within oneself, and on a devotional level the compassionate help one seeks. Quan Yin transcends gender, and depictions may be male, female or have characteristics of both. This painting depicts Quan Yin pouring from a vase which holds the Waters of Compassion with her foot resting in the pool of knowledge. In the background, the dragon forms an infinity sign and is biting its tail forming an Ouroboros. She is intentionally positioned in the pose of “The Star” tarot card. The Willow tree, prayer beads, and the blue bird are all symbols of this deity.

This is a watercolor painting on canvas. Unfortunately, as it is framed behind glass, I couldn’t get a photo without a reflection. Chang’e, Ch’ang-O or Chang-Ngo (Chinese: 嫦娥; pinyin: Cháng’é ), also known as Heng-E or Heng-O (姮娥; Héng’é ), is the Chinese goddess of the moon. Her companion is a rabbit who was said to mix the elixir of immortality in the form of rice cakes or mochi upon the moon. There are several versions of the story of Chang’e. In my favorite version, She was an immortal who chose to become mortal to rescue a kingdom from a cruel emperor who was obsessed himself with becoming immortal. Chang’e brought an elixor to him which was in fact a poison. Forced to taste the elixor first, the emperor thinking it was safe drank the poison. Instead of dying, Chang’e ascended to heaven. In a more common version of the story of Chang’e and her husband Houyi live as immortals in heaven. One day the ten sons of the Jade Emperor all become suns and they threaten to scorch the Earth. Houyi uses his arrows to shoot down all but one of the suns. The Emperor, furious at Houyi killing his sons, makes Chang’e and Houyi mortal. Houyi took a long journey to find a magical pill that would return immortality to him and his wife. Putting the pill in a case, Houyi asked his wife not to open the case as he left home for a while. Curiosity got to her, and she opened the case just as her husband returned home. She swallowed the entire pill, an overdose, and flew up to the moon. Houyi did not have the heart to shoot her down from the sky. So, she remained on the moon to live with the rabbit on the moon.
