À propos de ce contenu audio

The best and most comprehensive book on the most important and best-loved Chinese goddess.

Walk down the streets of Chinatown in any American or western European city and look around. She is there. Walk through the downtown streets, look in a shop window. She is there. Go to any city in China and open your eyes. She is there, too.

Kuan Yin is the most ubiquitous Chinese deity - and the most loved. She is the living expression of compassion whose gentle face and elegant figure form the center of devotion in most Chinese homes and workplaces. Until relatively recently, she was barely known in the West, and few studies had been made of her.

Originally published as Kuan Yin by Harper Collins in 1995 (and republished as The Kuan Yin Chronicles by Hampton Roads in 2009), this seminal work explores the origins and evolution of the goddess in ancient China, early Buddhism, Taoism, and shamanism. Religious scholar Martin Palmer and Chinese divination expert Man-Ho Kwok discuss the Kuan Yin myths and stories, and Jay Ramsay provides fresh translations of 100 Kuan Yin poems that function both as literature and divination tools.

    What a fascinating story and analysis. Sometimes a little too scholastic but it opens up so many deep and interesting questions about religious philosophy and history. I love myths and legends but having them rooted in reality is even more enriching, understanding the concerns and realities of the time that created these myths and the sometimes socio-economic and political reasons for creating these.
    I love too how the poems flow and how they can be used as a wisdom or introspection tool, like oracle cards.
    I’m going to look for these 100 Kuan Yin poems!

    My favourite part are the poems at the end ♥️
