Kwan Yin

Kwan Yin is the Buddhist embodiment of compassion and mercy.

I have always been a fan of the Goddess of Mercy, ever since I first travelled to Vietnam as a young man and decided that she was to be my patron saint.

Naturally, Kwan Yin is everywhere in Vietnam - here is a pic of some nuns I know at Binh Chanh with the Kwan Yin statue in the garden in front of their temple. She is a source of inspiration for everyone, and people turn to her in times of need.
