Urban Impression

[Troubleshooter]

I'm still waiting for more pictures of beautiful women.

Most Chinese women, including my mother, believe the Kwan-yin.

What is the Kwan-yin? Is it the female figure? What is the belief? Is this a common figurine?

I feel that the light remembers the stories and history.

That is very poetic. Does this lantern have something to do with Kwan-yin too, or was it just a lovely thing in the same room?

Kwan-yin was men, but afterward she changed into woman. I cannot remember the story now. She was a good Buddhist of Buddhism Founder. Many Buddhists oblate the oblate in homes and temples.

The lantern is used to light up in the room ago and has nothing with the Kwan-yin.

Kwan Yin is a Bodhisattva, known as the goddess of compassion. She has a very wide appeal that crosses all religions, because she represents a very universal theme.

We have a stunning example in the Nelson-Atkins Museum here in KC...

...although the photo scarcely does it justice. I can't even tell you how many people I have talked to over the years who have said that sitting before this amazing work in its perfect setting has brought immense peace and serenity to them. It is absolutely true. There is a palpable sense of calm, renewal and love in this part of the gallery. I've felt it all my life, but only after becoming Pagan was I able to understand what was happening.

A very, very powerful deity is Kwan Yin.

Traditional Chinese painting. Last weekend I happened to see the painting exhibition. To be frank, I also cannot understand the paitings. Can you see something from the drawing?

[Clodfobble]

The top looks like mountains with occasional trees and houses, and the bottom looks like red flowers on a tree branch. Doesn't quite look like a cherry blossom tree though.

Unless you're referring to an emotional reaction from these paintings, in which case, yes, they evoke tranquility to me.

[Elspode]

The top one looks like a fog-enshrouded mountain valley.

[Billy]

The Mountain is in the fog and cloud. In the bottom there are chrysanthemum, megranate, lotus and cherry.
