one of the deities most frequently seen on altars in China's temples is Quan Yin (also spelled Kwan Yin,
Kuanyin; in pinyin, Guanyin). In Sanskrit, her name is Padma-pāni, or "Born of the Lotus." Quan Yin, alone
among Buddhist gods, is loved rather than feared and is the model of Chinese beauty.
No other figure in the Chinese pantheon appears in a greater variety of images, of which there are said to
be thousands of different incarnations or manifestations. Quan Yin is usually depicted as a barefoot,
gracious woman dressed in beautiful, white flowing robes, with a white hood gracefully draped over the top
of the head and carrying a small upturned vase of holy dew.
