	KUAN YIN: Compassionate Saviouress
		Kuan Yin is considered to be the feminine form of Avalokitesvara(Sanskrit), the bodhisattva of compassion of Indian Buddhism whose worship was introduced into China in the third century.
		Although Kuan Yin was still being portrayed as a male as late as the tenth century, with the introduction of Tantric Buddhism into China in the eighth century during the T'ang Dynasty, the image of the celestial bodhisattva as a beautiful white-robed goddess was predominant and the devotional cult surrounding her became increasingly popular.
		Thus Avalokitesvara, or Kuan Yin, is regarded as the "reflex" of Amitabhaï¿½a further emanation or embodiment of Karuna (compassion), the quality which Amitabha himself embodies in the highest sense.
