High Grade Jade Thousand Hand Kuan Yin Pendant

A stunning jade pendant skillfully carved with the image of the "thousand hands" Kuan Yin. The thousand arms also enable this Goddess of Infinite Mercy to scatter blessings and to 'lend a helping hand' to alleviate the sufferings of all beings. Hangs on an adjustable oriental necklace.

Kuan Yin (Avalokitesvara) is a very prominent and revered Goddess, widely pursued by the Chinese and followers of Mahayana Buddhism. Being the definitive icon of mercy and compassion, Kuan Yin is a respectable maiden, as her tale tells. She actually reached the point where she could become a Buddha (a being who is enlightened and free from the cycles of birth and death) and yet she decided to stay on Earth, remaining a “Pu Sa” or "Bodhisattva" so that she could help humankind achieve better karma, leading them to the Western Heavens, where they can find peace, happiness and bliss. Because she had the ability to comfort the sick and senile, Kuan Yin was widely admired and adored by the people on Earth. She touched their hearts and souls, creating a sense of peace and relief amongst those who were less fortunate.

Kuan Yin is the short form Chinese name for Guan Shi Yin where Guan means to watch, monitor and observe; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of people suffering on earth. Guan Shi Yin is thus the “One Who Hears the Cries of the World”. Those who are in need of this Goddess’ aid need simply to cry out her name; she will assist those trying to overcome depression, grief, relationship issues, family drama, illness, death of loved ones and other major obstacles in life.

When in distress, one must chant “Om Mani Padme Hum” (the potent Buddhist mantra) in front of her image. Kuan Yin will then protect you, your family and your business from evil. Like a child calling its mother, people depend on the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, grateful for her promptness and immediacy. Once this Bodhisattva is called upon, she will serve to rid the caller’s life of suffering, transforming it into joy and happiness.

Jade is the most beloved gemstone of the Chinese. It's also known as the 'stone of heaven' or 'noble stone' and was held higher in value than gold in olden times. Considered to be the ultimate Feng Shui crystal, jade charms are said to bring harmony, attract good luck and friendship and promotes self-sufficiency. It also increases nurturing and love that can be used to harmonize dysfunctional relationships. Mentally, jade helps discard negative thoughts and soothes the mind as well as stimulates ideas.
