She is one of the most important figures in Chinese belief and mythology.</p><p>Guanyin is a Buddhist deity, that is why she is sitting on a lotus throne, a Hindu and Buddhist symbol of divinity and spiritual growth.</p><p>She is holding a flask containing &#039;the dew of compassion&#039;, which cleanses body, speech and mind, removes suffering, and grants a long life.</p><p>She may have been pretty new when your father bought her. These statues are still being made, because Chinese people all over the world love to have them in the home, either for worship or for her benevolent influence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
