Dis
by Greg GermanI placed a glazed head of Quan Yin in my garden and where it sat was, unknown to me, directly above a chipmunk’s den. The chipmunk managed to knock the head over and it became dirty in the process. I tried to imagine how her followers would feel about such obvious disrespect. Before cleaning the piece and finding a more suitable site for it, I took a few photos. Appropriately enough this one is called “Dis”. Spring 2007

Yield and Overcome – The Art of Tai Chi Quan
by amar bahadur shresthaFootball is a beautiful game. No less beautiful is another sport, one that is practiced by millions- young and old- in almost every singl…
The practice of Tai Chi is rooted in the philosophical aspects of that most ancient of philosophical thoughts – Taoism – a mystical Chinese tradition founded by Lao Tsu much ahead of even Confucius’ time. Taoism views the world as one that is steeped in beauty and tranquility and thus, advocates a serene, contemplative and spiritual approach. If so, Tai Chi cannot help but be beautiful.

A fabulous sculptured bust of the goddess Quan Yin – this is my favourite photo from the Chinatown Temple in Bendigo, as she is particularly special to me. I just love the play of light and shadow on her wise, serene face. Pentax Optio E20

Goddess of Mercy (Quan Yin) Temple is one of the oldest Temples in Penang from around 1800. The temple is found on Cannon street near the Esplanade. It was founded in 1801 on East India Company land by Chinese immigrant settlers, the temple looms over visitors with its prominent red roof, snarling dragons and lions. It bristles with endless activity all year round and the air is perpetually permeated with sandalwood incense, burnt joss sticks I was amazed at the size of these incense sticks in the front of the temple , the were huge easily head height and at least 6’’ thick.

Mystical manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, beloved Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, maybe better known to the Chinese as Kwan Yin (Quan Yin), or as Kannon to the Japanese. This version shows 11 heads and 8 principal arms, no way i was going to attempt to draw the other 992 arms. Om Mani Padmi Hum, (The Jewel in the Lotus), mantra of Avalokiteshvara, is shown at the bottom in Tibetan script.

Taiji (太极拳) (More popularly known as Tai Chi) on the Bund in Shanghai’s Waitan (Bund) area, with the sunrise over Pudong’s Lujiazui area. Tai chi theory and practice evolved in agreement with many of the principles of Chinese philosophy including both Taoism and Confucianism. Tai chi training first and foremost involves learning solo routines, known as forms (套路 taolu). While the image of tai chi chuan in popular culture is typified by exceedingly slow movement, many tai chi styles (including the three most popular, Yang, Wu and Chen) have secondary forms of a faster pace. Some traditional schools of taiji teach partner exercises known as pushing hands, and martial applications of the postures of the form.

Taken in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam at the Tam Son Hoi Quan Pagoda. I have said it many times, the smallest and most mundane things amuse me so that being said it is truly no surprise that I came home from a few days in Vietnam and had a photo of an electrical plug!

Taken at the Quan Am Pagoda in the Cholon district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The photo seems hazy but that is due to the incredible amount of smoke hanging in the air from the incense burning in this active pagoda.

One of the deities most frequently seen on altars in China’s temples is Quan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin, Kuanyin; in pinyin, Guanyin) In Sanskrit, her name is Padma-pâni, or “Born of the Lotus.” Quan Yin, alone among Buddhist gods, is loved rather than feared and is the model of Chinese beauty. One of the several stories surrounding Quan Yin is that she was a Buddhist who through great love and sacrifice during life, had earned the right to enter Nirvana after death. However, like Avlokiteshvara, while standing before the gates of Paradise she heard a cry of anguish from the earth below. Turning back to earth, she renounced her reward of bliss eternal but in its place found immortality in the hearts of the suffering. Quan Yin is a shortened form of a name that means One Who Sees and Hears the Cry from the Human World.

I created this Illustration of a Japanese girl for the Eastern Feminine challenge in the Feminine Intent Group. She is wearing two tattoos: one of the Goddess Quan Yin and one of a Lotus Flower. Quan Yin is believed to be a true Enlightened One, or Bodhisattva. Ancient texts say that she has vowed to remain in the earthly realms and not enter the heavenly worlds until all other living things have completed their own enlightenment and are liberated from the pain-filled cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Quan Yin is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, she hears the cries of all beings. Quan Yin also enjoys a strong resonance with the Energy of the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara. Quan Yin is usually depicted standing on a Lotus Flower. The Lotus (in Asian traditions) represents sexual purity, virtue, and divine beauty. I had fun drawing her first on illustration paper with a thin black Pilot Razor Point extra fine pen and black Prismacolor pencil. Then I colored her with chalk pastels and put pencil and black marker back on top. I especially like the texture where the ‘waxy’ Prismacolor pencil and chalk don’t mix very well.

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.
