The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin, which means "Perceiving the Sounds (or Cries) of the World". She[A] is also sometimes referred to as Guanyin Bodhisattva (Chinese: 觀音菩薩).[1] Some Buddhists believe that when one of their adherents departs from this world, they are placed by Guanyin in the heart of a lotus, and then sent to the western pure land of Sukhāvatī.[2]

It is generally accepted among East Asian adherents that Guanyin originated as the Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara. Commonly known in English as the Mercy Goddess or Goddess of Mercy,[3] Guanyin is also revered by Taoists as an immortal. In Chinese folk religion there are mythical accounts about Guanyin's origins that are not associated with the Avalokiteśvara described in Buddhist sutras."The other 3 are not marked but appear to have had paper labels at one time .These came from my family.
