When we think of Kannon, we usually forget that she is human. We think of her like a god, but she is not one of the gods. She is a perfected human being, a perfect Boddhisattva.

Kannon understands human suffering and pain. She knows that every human being can do better and change their life. She reaches out to us when we are in pain and lifts us up to where we can see a better path, a path out of suffering. She never judges any human in pain.

Whenever there is a soul in great need, Kannon is the first Master to answer the call.

Her many names: Kannon, Kwan Yin, and Avalokiteshvara all mean “One who hears the cries of the world.”

Whatever karma you must deal with, no matter how difficult, Kannon will help you. I have seen her help people in need many times. Her compassion and her commitment to help are unsurpassed in all this universe.

A long time ago Lord Buddha told his disciples that there were so many souls struggling with the pain of their karma that he wanted one person to volunteer to help them. Kannon was the first one to step forward and volunteer. Buddha told her that this was a difficult job. She would have to go into the darkest places and experience the most difficult pain, but she insisted that she could do it. So Buddha wished her well and gave her a string of pearls to remind her of her commitment.
