Kuan Yin or Quan Yin, Is the Chinese goddess of mercy who, while standing before the gates of Paradise, heard a cry of anguish from the earth below chose to remain on earth to bring relief to the suffering rather than enjoy paradise and enter heaven. Turning back to earth, she renounced her reward of bliss eternal but in its place found immortality in the hearts of the suffering.

In China she has many names and is also known as "great mercy, great pity; salvation from misery, salvation from woe; self-existent; thousand arms and thousand eyes  and has been compared to the Virgin Mary. She is one of the San Ta Shih, or the Three Great Beings, renowned for their power over the animal kingdom or the forces of nature.
