Kuan Yin
Kuan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin or Quan Yin and known as Kuan Shih Yin), is the Goddess of Compassion. She is one of the most popular deities and her name in Chinese means "One who Hears the Cries of the World". She represents merciful tenderness, compassion, loving kindness, and wisdom, among other things. In Asia, statues of Kuan Yin can be found in front of, or on the grounds of, many Buddhist temples.
Do you know where the temple in this photo is located?
