Guanyin or Guan Yin is an East Asian bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. She is commonly known as the “Goddess of Mercy” in English, and is one of the most wide spread buddhas in Chinese Buddhism. The Chinese name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, meaning “(The One Who)Perceives the Sounds of the World”.
The exhibition will present more than 100 pieces of collections selected from the Capital Museum in Beijing. The collections include bronze sculptures, paintings, and sculptures in porcelain, representing both the Tibetan Buddhism and that of Han Culture.
