She hears all prayers ..Her full name Kuan Shih Yin literally means "The one who regards, looks on or hears the cries of the world".Legend says Kuan Yin, originally a princess, having forsaken marriage, lived her life in a convent much to her father's anger and distrust. She was a Buddhist Bodhisattva (a mortal who has achieved enlightenment and earned the right to enter Heaven or Nirvana), and when at the gates of Heaven, she heard someone on Earth cry, and so turned back, vowing that she would stay on Earth to do all she could to ease our suffering. She would not enter Heaven until everyone could go there with her. New Agers and Wiccan's refer to her as the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy.There are many ways to invoke Kuan Yin into you life.
