Guan Yin Postage Stamp (2nd Series), The Power of Miracles

The Power of Miracles

The Thousand Armed and Thousand Eyed Guan Yin or, for short, The thousand Armed Guan yim is one of the attitudes of the Bhodhisattava Guan Yin.  The Guan Yin goddess looks grand and majestic, creating asense of awe at her miraculous powers.

the Characteristics of the Goddess in this particular attitude have two hidden meanings.  Firstly, the Goddess uses her one thousand eyes to look after creatres that are in a limbo of suffering through her mercy and with her 1,000 arms, she pulls them away from capture in the meaningless life cycle.  The second meaning refers to the miracles of the Bodhisattava in being able to subdue evil and it them from intruding into human lives.
