Kwan Yin, God of Mercy, is also known as Avalokitesvara. The word avalokira means observes the sounds of the world and isvara means lord. The full name has been widely interpreted as the lord who hears/looks in even direction and the lord of hearing the deepest.
The great vow of Kwan Yin is to listen to the supplications from those in difficult in the world and to postpone her own Buddhahood until she has helped every being on earth achieving enlightenment. Therefore, she is treated as the embodiment of all the Buddha's' compassion.
It is believed that Kwan Yin has 33 manifestations, including Avalokitesvara who wears white robes, Avalokitesvara the King of Merit, Avalokiresvara of 1,000 hands and eyes, Avalokitesvara of the fish basket.
