This woman who... is a man. This man is a woman. And the bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara, is neither male nor female and is both. She transforms her body into any form she needs to alleviate suffering. We call her Kuan Yin and Kannon. She is known as the one who perceives the cries of the world.Through her, we engage and bring love, compassion and kindness into the world.
