“Avalokiteshvara: She Is the Loving Mother”
Avalokiteshvara: She who looks down on those in suffering. She is “Great Compassion.”
As Lafcadio Hearn writes, She “is the dream of the Indian Paradise.”*
She is the Loving Mother smiling down on us. She can be as everyone’s mother: the Mother every mother yearns to be.
Her smile transports us to Paradise.
