Yes, according to the records of the "Sorrowful Flower Sutra", Avalokitesvara was the prince of Wu Jing Nian, the Holy King of Wheels, with an arbitrary name before the immeasurable calamity. He made a great wish to have great compassion, to end the suffering and troubles of all living beings, and to make all living beings live in peace and happiness. For this reason, Treasure Tathagata named him Avalokitesvara. "The Avatamsaka Sutra" says: "A brave husband observes freedom." Avalokitesvara was introduced to China around the Three Kingdoms period. Now we see that most of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva worshiped are female. But at that time, Guanyin was still a mighty man. In the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu Province and the statues from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Guanyin is shown as a male, with two beautiful mustaches on his lips. Before the Tang Dynasty in my country, the statues of Avalokitesvara were all male, and the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in India was also a male. Buddhist scriptures record that Master Guanyin travels around the Dharma Realm and often saves all living beings with various skills and conveniences. In what body should living beings be saved, he manifests them and speaks the Dharma, which are the thirty-two responses. His female image may be derived from this. Come. The female image in later generations may also be related to Guanyin Bodhisattva's ability to "send children" and is the embodiment of great mercy. Various current images Among the various Bodhisattva images in Buddhism, there are many images of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is probably related to the saying that Guanyin has various incarnations. Generally speaking, when he, as one of the "Three Western Deities", and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva accompany the Amitabha Buddha statue, Guanyin Bodhisattva at this time is wearing a crown with the image of Amitabha Buddha on the crown, and other appearances and clothing decorations are There is no significant difference from other Bodhisattva statues.
