Condition Report

Guanyin, dressed in flowing robes, is seated in the padmasana or lotus position with both her feet tucked under her legs facing up and with the hand posture of zazen Hokkai-join (cosmic mudra): fingers of left hand over fingers of right, thumbs lightly touching, little fingers resting against the lower abdomen. 
Kwan Yin or Guanyin or Guan Yin (/?gw??n'j?n/) is the most commonly used Chinese translation of the bodhisattva known as Avalokitesvara. Guanyin is the Buddhist bodhisattva associated with compassion. 
Guanyin also refers to the bodhisattva as adopted by other Eastern religions. She was first given the appellation of "Goddess of Mercy" or the Mercy Goddess by Jesuit missionaries in China. The Chinese name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means "[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World."
