Kuan Yin~Quan Yin Candle by Montserrat

Kuan Yin

Kuan Yin is the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy. She is the one "who hears the cries of the world". Legend says that Kuan yin, originally a princess, having forsaken marriage, lived her life in a convent, much to her father's anger and distrust. She was a Buddhist Bodhisattva, which is a mortal who has achieved enlightenment and earned the right to enter Heaven or Nirvana. When she was at the gates of Heaven, she heard someone on earth cry, and she turned back, vowing that she would stay on earth to do all she could do to ease our suffering. She would not enter Heaven until everybody could go there with her.

My Kuan Yin candle is made with a blend of rose geranium and Nag Champa. It comes with a Kuan Yin pendant, about 1" in size. Each one is hand made by me and not two are the same. They can be worn, or placed on an altar. The pendant is tied with raffia. The label tells her story.

It comes in orange on top blending into a beautiful burgundy at the bottom.

and also in sage green
