                                                    Guan Yin had, in fact, already attained Buddhahood in the distant past. Yet, by the power of her great compassion and aspirations for sentient beings, she chose to manifest in the form of a bodhisattva.
 
                                                         
                                                    
 
                                                         
                                                    Today at LJM, there are the Tara statue and a Vairotsana Guan Yin statue from Mt. Putuo in our shrine hall. Guan Yin safeguards and guides us to see the clear light nature of the mind.
 
                                                         
                                                    Now that you’re here at Ling Jiou Mountain (LJM), the bodhimanda of Guan Yin (Avalokiteshvara). Under these proper causes and conditions, be sure to take something back with you
 
                                                         
                                                    Guan Yin (Avalokiteshvara) has the greatest connection with us. Sentient beings in places flourished with Dharma are closely connected with Guan Yin.
