Synopsis

Sandy Boucher, celebrated author of Opening the Lotus and Turning the Wheel, now offers North American readers their first opportunity to share in Kwan Yin's illuminating wisdom. Along with providing meditations, chants, and prayers this lovely, illustrated volume recounts the stories of this bodhisattva (one who delays her own full enlightenment to work for the liberation of all beings) and explains Kwan Yin's role in Buddhism. Discovering Kwan Yin is sure to become an important spiritual touchstone for those who seek to celebrate the goddess in their lives, to give and receive the loving power of her presence.

More informaton on Kwan Yin
Now when I speak about Kwan Yin, I find that she is much biggerand more universal than her appearance in Buddhism. She is one of the "Ascended Masters" in several esoteric disciplines. Recently I went to a Sufi "Dances of Universal Peace" where we performed a particular circle dance to Kwan Yin. Keep letting me know what you know about her. And if you would like to learn about a retreat I lead using Kwan Yin practices, contact me.
